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 of-
ten just use visual back trailing because it is better at following each little
turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, whether cruising at 120 kts or zip-
ping down the highway, 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.

Tip: Back Track a Trail
Simply running the Navigate command will lead you along the trail
from its starting point to its ending point — forward order. You can
also back track a trail, or follow it in reverse order (from its ending
point to its starting point.) You must first select the Reverse com-
mand to reverse the trail point order before you start navigating:
