Eagle Electronics Cuda 240 S/GPS manual Visual Trailing, Navigate a Trail forward

tween them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse (from end to start.)

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 little turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, such as the highway or on the wa- ter, the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy.

Visual Trailing

1.On the Plotter Page, zoom (ZIN or ZOUT) so your flashing trail is visi- ble.

2.Begin moving and watch the Plotter Page. Simply walk or steer so that 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.
