your changes and press ENTER/MARK again. You may also choose a style (monochrome units) or
color (color models) that will be used to display the saved track line. If you wish for the saved track
to be displayed on the Map and Highway Page, highlight the check box to the left of ‘Show on Map

2. Highlight the track you wish to follow and press ENTER/MARK.
3. Choose either ‘Original’, which will navigate you from the start to the end of your trip, or ‘Reverse’,
which will navigate you from the end to the start of your trip and press ENTER/MARK.
Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPSMAP 182/182C/232 will take the track log currently
stored in memory and divide it into segments called ‘legs’. Up to 50 (254 on 182C) temporary ‘turns’
(BEGIN, TURN 1, TURN 2, TURN 3,...., TURN X, END) will be created to mark the most significant
features of the track log in order to duplicate your exact path as closely as possible. To get the most out
of the TracBack feature, remember the following tips:
• Always clear the track log at the point that you want to go back to (dock, etc.).
• The ‘Record Mode’ option on the track log setup page must be set to ‘Fill’ or ‘Wrap’.
• There must be at least two track log points stored in memory to create a TracBack route.
