Lowrance electronic Mapping GPS & MP3 Player manual Trails

NOTE:

Search works from mapping and POI data loaded in iFINDER. If you do not have a high-detailed custom map (containing POI data) for the area you are searching loaded on the MMC, you may not find anything.

Trails

A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by iFINDER 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.

The iFINDER lets you save up to 10 trails in its memory. Since you can copy these trails to MMCs in the form of GPS Data Files (*.usr format), the only true limit on the number of trails you can record is the number of MMCs you can carry in your pockets.

(For various trail options, see the Trail Options entry in Sec. 5.)

Create and Save a Trail

iFINDER is set at the factory to automatically create and record a trail while the unit is turned on. It will continue recording the trail until the length reaches the maximum trail point setting (default is 2,000, but the unit can record trails 9,999 points long). When the point limit is reached, iFINDER begins recording the trail over itself.

To preserve a trail from point A to point B, you must :"turn off" the trail by making it inactive before heading to point C or even back to point A. When a trail is set inactive, iFINDER automatically creates and begins recording a new trail.
