— Only Track History is available for this

function if MapSend Topo for the United States map data is not
uploaded. (Path Check is shown as an available function but will not
display the vertical profile, however it can be used to graphically create a
route. See the information on Path Check for more details.) If a
topographic map has been uploaded, you have the additional options of
selecting Path Check, Route or Highlighted Road.

Vertical Profile displays the elevation as a graphical display for the option
you select.

While viewing the vertical profile screen, you can use the left and right
arrows to move the profile accordingly. The vertical dashed line in the
middle of the profile plot provides the elevation for that point on the
profile.

Selecting Vertical Profile — Note, not all options for Vertical Profile are
available at all times. For example, if you have a topographical map
loaded but the cursor or present position is not on a road, the option
“Highlighted road” will not be displayed.
