Navigating Trails
There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigat-
ing a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail. Try each method to see
which you prefer.
Visual trailing is the simplest method. It uses only the Map Page and
requires no menu commands at all. The technique works the same if
you are running a trail forward (from start to end) or backward (from
end to start.) However, visual trailing provides no navigation informa-
tion during the trip, such as the time to your destination.
