Navigating Trails

There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigating a trail and backtracking a trail. Try each method to see which you pre- fer.

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.) Visual trailing, however, provides no navigation informa- tion during the trip, like 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 be- tween them is navigating a trail follows a trail forward while back- tracking follows a trail in reverse.

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