Basic Operation

Using Tracks

The Tracks feature creates an electronic bread crumb trail or “track log” on the Map page as you travel. The track log contains information about points along its path, including time, location, elevation, and depth (depth requires NMEA input, see page 35).

The track log starts recording as soon as the unit gets a location fix. The percentage of memory used by the current track log appears at the top of the Tracks page.
