Tracks

A track is a graphical presentation of the historical path of the vessel, allowing you to retrace
where you have travelled. A track can be converted to a route from the Edit Tracks dialog.
From the factory, the system is set to automatically track and draw the vessel's movement on
the chart panel. The system will continue to record the track until the track length reaches
the maximum track points, and will then automatically begin overwriting the oldest track
points.
The automatic tracking function can be turned off from the Tracks dialog.

Creating a new track

You can start a new track from the Tracks dialog, activated by using the Tracks tool on the

Home page.

Track settings

A track is made up of a series of track points connected by line segments whose length
depends on the frequency of track recording.
You can select to position track points based on time settings, distance, or by letting the
Zeus

system position a waypoint automatically when a course change is registered.

Note:

The Tracks option must also be turned ON in the chart settings to be visible.
