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 in the Tracks panel, as described
later in this section.
From the factory, the system is set to automatically draw a track. The system will continue to
record the track until the track length reaches the maximum trail point setting, and will then
automatically begin overwriting the oldest track points.
The automatic tracking function can be turned off from the Tracks panel described later in
this section.
