Record Mode—select

Off

,

fill

, or

wrap

.

Off—does not record a track log.
fill—records a track log until the track memory is full.
wrap—continuously records the track log, replacing the oldest

track data with new data.

Record interval—defines the frequency at which the track plot is

recorded. Recording more-frequent plots is more accurate but fills

the track log faster.
interval—sets whether the interval is determined by distance,

time, or resolution. (Select

Change

to set the value.)

distance—records the track based on a distance between points.
Time—records the track based on a time interval.
Resolution—records the track plot based on a variance from

your course. This setting is recommended for the most-efficient

use of memory. The distance value (Change) is the maximum

error allowed from the true course before recording a track point.

Change—sets the value of the interval.
Track Color—sets the color of the track plot.
