You can save and recall up to 10 different plot trails, which can also be copied to your MMC for archiving or for transfer to your MapCreate software.

Tip:

Another quick way to stop recording one trail and begin a new one is to use the New Trail command: Press MENUMENUto MY TRAILSENTENT.

Caution:

You also have the option of completely turning off trail re- cording, under the trail Options command. However, if the Up- date Active Trail option is left turned off, it will cancel the automatic trail creation feature.

Navigating Trails

There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigating a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward). Try each method to see which you prefer.

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