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 keystrokes 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 footpath. At faster speeds, like travel-
ing on the highway or cruising on the water, the Navigate Trail com-
mand is handy.

Visual Back Trailing
1. On the Map Page, zoom (

ZIN

or

ZOUT

) so your trail is visible.

2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page (or Navi-
gation Page, if you prefer). Walk or steer so that
your current position arrow traces along the trail
you have just made.

NOTE:
