USING THE TRACK LOG

The Geko 301 draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or ‘track log’ on the Map Page as

you travel. The track log starts recording as soon as the Geko 301 gets a location fi x.

To make use of the track log, select the ‘PAN TRACK LOG’ option to show a pointer

which moves along the track log when you press the

UP

or

DOWN

Button. Press the

OK

Button to see the four choices ‘TRACBACK’, ‘GOTO’, ‘MARK’ and ‘ZOOM’.

‘TRACBACK’ will guide you to where you started by following the track log that you left

behind, allowing you to return along a traveled path without marking any waypoints. For
the best results, clear the track log before you start traveling because when the track log is
full, the new track points will overwrite the oldest track points.

‘GOTO’ guides you from your current location to the waypoint selected while ‘MARK’

creates a waypoint on the selected track point. ‘ZOOM’ adjusts the level of viewable map
detail.

To clear the track log:

1. From the Map Page, press the OK Button to display the Map Page Options menu.

2. Press the DOWN Button to highlight ‘CLEAR TRACK LOG’ and press the OK Button.

3. At the message “DO YOU REALLY WANT TO CLEAR THE TRACK LOG?”, press the

DOWN Button to highlight ‘YES’ and press the OK Button to clear the track log and
return to the Map Page.
