Navigating Trails

There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigating a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward).

Visual trailing is the simplest method. It uses only the Map Page and requires no menu commands. The technique works the same if you are running a trail forward (from start to end) or backward (from end to start.) Visual trailing, however, provides no navigation information during the trip, such as the time to your destination.

The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse.

When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often use visual back trailing because it is a bit better at following each little turn on a footpath. At faster speeds, like driving or boating, the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy.

Visual Trailing

1.On the Map Page, zoom (ZIN or ZOUT) so your flashing trail is visible.

2.Begin moving and watch the Map Page. Simply walk or steer so your current position arrow traces along the trail you have just made.

Tip:

Generally, when using this method, the smaller the zoom range, the more accurately you will be able to steer along the trail.
