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 Profi le:

MENU key to display the Profi le option.

The beginning of the track is marked by a fl ag and you can scroll
across the profi le by pressing the left ROCKER key arrow.
As you scroll the profi le, the elevation for each point on the
profi le 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 profi le, 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 90 for more information about MapSource U.S. Topo
24K maps.
