The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and
work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference
between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start
to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse (from end to
start.)
When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use
visual back trailing because it is a bit better at following each little
turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, such as the highway or on the wa-
ter, the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy.
Visual Trailing
1. On the Map Page, zoom (
ZIN
or
ZOUT
) so the flashing trail is visible.
2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page. Walk or steer so that your
current position arrow traces along the trail you have just made.
Tip:
Generally, when using this method, the smaller the zoom range,
the more accurately you will be able to steer along the trail.
