Features
A beginning locator and a sophisticated and experienced
locator can use the NaviTrack® II with equal ease. While the
NaviTrack® II offers advanced features which make the most
complex locate easier, many of its features can be turned off
or hidden to make the display simpler and clearer when doing
basic locating in uncomplicated situations.
