Track Profiles
Once you have saved a track, you not only have a record of the path
you traveled but an altitude profile as well.
To view a Track Profile:
1. With the Saved Tracks Page for the Track displayed, press the
MENU key to display the Profile option.
2. Then press ENTER to display the Track Profile.
The beginning of the track is marked by a flag and you can scroll
across the profile by pressing the left ROCKER key arrow.
As you scroll the profile, the elevation for each point on the
profile is displayed at the top of the page and the distance from
the Start point and the End Point are displayed at the bottom.
3. At any point along the profile, you can press ENTER to display
that point on the map.
4. Press the MENU key to use “Zoom Ranges” and “Hide Sym-
bols” options.
A Track Elevation Profile can also be created from Digital Elevation
Models (DEM) maps (MapSource U.S. Topo 24K) which include elevation
data contained in the map. When these types of maps are available, a
“Use Map Data” - “Use Track Data” option menu displays when you select
“Profile” See page 88 for more information about MapSource U.S. Topo
24K maps.
