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.
