Activating a Backtrack Route

Many might consider a Backtrack route as the most important function in a handheld GPS receiver.

Being able to quickly create a route back to your starting point is not only handy for normal outdoor
adventures, but also gives the traveller the security in knowing that directions back to camp are only
a button press away.

From the Map screen press ENTER.

Select Backtrack.

Select Yes.

Accept the notification that the backtrack has been started.

Clearing Track

As mentioned earlier, you should clear your track before travelling if you plan on saving the track as

a trail.

From the Map screen press MENU.

Select View.

Select Tracks.

Select Erase Track.

Select Yes to confirm. The existing track is erased and you can begin your journey.
