Creating and Saving a Trail
A trail or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the unit as you
travel. It is a travel history, a record of the path you have taken. Trails
are useful for repeating a journey along the same track. They are par-
ticularly handy when you are trying to retrace your trip and go back the
way you came. On the screen, trails are represented by a solid line ex-
tending from the back of the current position arrow. The default color is
light magenta.
