TracBack Tips (cont.)
• If the receiver is turned off or you lose satellite coverage during your trip, the TracBack
route will simply draw a straight line between any point where coverage was lost and
where it resumed.
• If the changes in direction and distance of your track log are very complex, 30 waypoints
may not be enough to accurately mark your exact path. The receiver will then assign the
30 waypoints to the most significant points of your track, and simplify segments with
fewer changes in direction.
• If you want to save a TracBack route, copy route 0 to an open storage route before acti-
vating another TracBack. Activating another TracBack or storage route will overwrite the
existing TracBack route.
• Whenever a TracBack route is activated, the receiver will automatically erase any tempo-
rary waypoints that are not contained in routes 1-19. If there are temporary waypoints
stored in routes 1-19, the receiver will create any new temporary waypoints using the
first three-digit number available. (You can also quickly delete all temporary TracBack
waypoints in memory by using the ‘delete by symbol’ method described on p. 33.)
