To Customize the Logging Preferences
Use the following steps to designate if you want the device to log GPS points based on time or dis-
tance intervals. Logging based on a short time interval provides the most detailed results but also
quickly adds many points. Logging based on distance takes much longer to fill the track, allowing
you to record a great distance (10 feet is the shortest distance interval available).
1. From the Tracks Page, press MENU.
2. Highlight Edit Track Settings and press ENTER.
3. Highlight the Record Points by drop-down list and press ENTER.
4. Highlight Time or Distance.
5. Press ENTER.
6. Highlight the Recording Interval field and press ENTER.
7. Use the arrow keypad to increase/decrease the recording interval value. If you selected Time
in step 4, the recording interval is expressed in seconds. If you selected Distance in step 4,
the recording interval is expressed in feet.
8. Highlight the When Track is Full drop-down list and press ENTER.
9. Highlight Overwrite Points, Stop Recording, or Start Recording New Track. This option
determines how the device reacts when the track reaches its maximum number of points. If
you select the Overwrite Points option, the oldest points in the track are replaced with new
points. If you select Stop Recording, the device stops recording points when it is full. If you
select Start Recording New Track, the device saves the track and starts recording a new
track.
10. Press QUIT to return to the Tracks Page.

interval to record your location
during a long trip.

New Track to save a detailed

the Overwrite Points option if
you are interested in knowing
