Caution:
You also have the option of turning off trail recording in Ad-
vance Mode. If the option is left turned off, it will cancel the
automatic trail creation feature in Easy Mode.
Displaying a Saved Trail
The trail is automatically displayed in Easy Mode by default. Trail dis-
play can be selectively turned off and on only in Advanced Mode.
Navigating or Backtracking a Trail
There are two methods for following your back trail. The simplest re-
quires no menu commands at all, but provides no navigation informa-
tion during the trip, such as the time to your destination. The other
requires only three key strokes and provides a full range of navigation
data. Try both methods and see which you prefer. When hiking at
walking speed, we often just use visual back trailing because it is better
at following each little turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, such as the
highway or on the water, the Navigate Trail command is handy.
Visual Back Trailing
1. On the Map Page, zoom (
ZIN or ZOUT ) so your flashing trail is visible.
2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page (or Navigation Page, if you
prefer). Simply walk or steer so that your current position arrow traces
along the trail you have just made.

NOTE:
If you are already located at or near the
beginning of your back trail, the arrival alarm
will go off as soon as you hit Enter. Just press
EXIT to clear the alarm and proceed.
On the map, your original trail is visible as a
flashing solid line, along with a roughly parallel dotted line indicating
the back trail to follow. The map contains a steer arrow in the lower
right corner. This arrow shows you where to steer to reach the next
waypoint on your back trail.
The Navigation Page will also show the trail line and a bearing arrow,
which points to the next waypoint on the trail.
As you travel, the arrival alarm will go off when you near a trail way-
point, and the steer arrow (on the map) and bearing arrow (on the com-
pass rose) will swing around and point to the next trail waypoint. Press
EXIT to clear the alarm.
