With the default auto setting, this unit creates a trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you change directions. The methods used for creating a trail and the trail update rate can both be adjusted or even turned off. See Sec. 5 for Trail Options.

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 the current trail is set inactive, the unit automatically creates and begins recording a new trail.
