Creating and Saving a Trail
A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the unit as you
travel. It's a travel history, a record of the path you have taken. Trails are
useful for repeating a journey along the same track. They are particularly
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 extending from
the back of the current position arrow. The default color is light magenta.
The unit is set at the factory to automatically create and record a trail
while the unit is turned on. The unit will continue recording the trail
