Main Menu—
Active Track Tab

Points Tab— contains the ‘User’ and ‘Proximity’ waypoint lists. See pages 50-52.

Route Tab— contains a list of available routes. See pages 57-63.

Track Tab— lets you specify whether or not to record a track log (an electronic ‘breadcrumb trail’
recording of your path), deﬁ ne how it is recorded, or save track log data for future use. The Track Tab
also provides an indicator of the memory used for the active track log and options to clear the track
memory or start a TracBack route. See pages 54-56 for TracBack information. The Track submenu is
divided in two tabs: ‘Active’ tab and the ‘Saved’ tab.

Active Tab

The ‘Active’ tab is for the active log (the log currently being recorded). It displays track memory

used and current settings. For the ‘Active’ tab, the following settings are available:

• Record Mode— lets you select one of three track recording options:

Off— No track log will be recorded. Note that selecting the ‘Off’ setting will prevent you from

using the TracBack feature.

Fill— a track log will be recorded until the track memory is full.

Wrap— A track log will be continuously recorded, wrapping through the available memory

(replacing the oldest track data with new data).

• Interval— deﬁ nes the frequency at which the track plot is recorded. Three interval settings are avail-

able:

Distance— records track based on a user-deﬁ ned distance between points.

Time— records track plot based on a user-deﬁ ned time interval.

Resolution— records track plot based upon a user-deﬁ ned variance from your course over

ground. The resolution option is the default setting and is recommended for the most efﬁ cient
use of memory and TracBack performance. The distance value (entered in the value ﬁ eld) is the
maximum error allowed from the true course before recording a track point.
