Track Log Submenu

The GPSMAP’s main menu page’s track submenu lets you specify whether or

not to record a track plot (an electronic recording of your path) and define how it is
recorded. It also provides an indicator of the track memory used and selects func-
tions to clear the track memory and start a TracBack route. The following functions
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— defines the frequency with which the track plot is recorded. Three inter-

val settings are available:

• Time– records track plot based on a user-defined time interval.

• Resolution– records track plot based upon a user-defined variance from

your course over ground. The resolution option is the default setting and
is recommended for the most efficient use of memory and TracBack per-
formance. The distance value (entered in the interval field) is the maxi-
mum error allowed from the true course before recording a track point.

• Distance– records track based on a user-defined distance between points.

• Interval Value— defines the distance or time used to record the track log.

• Delete Track?— allows you to clear the track log currently stored in memory.

• Start TracBack?— converts the current track log into an inverted route and begins

route navigation along the track log.
