Navigating Trails
There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigat-
ing a trail forward and back tracking a trail. Try each method to see
which you prefer. Visual trailing is the simplest method. It uses only
the Map Page and requires no menu commands at all. The technique
works the same if you are running a trail forward or backward. How-
ever, visual trailing provides no navigation information during the trip,
such as the time to your destination.
