Creating a Route From a Trail
A trail is a line drawn on the map by your GPS unit as you travel. It's a record of the path you've taken, showing where you've been. This feature is also called a plot trail. In the field, the trail will extend from your present position back to where you began recording the trail. Your GPS unit records thousands of position points to show every twist and turn you've taken on your journey.
MapCreate can use a GPS plot trail to create a route for use on a repeat trip. Your GPS unit can automatically navigate the new route, making it easy to retrace the path you took. You can even share the information with friends. Using the Create Route From Trail command is a snap. Here's how you do it:
1. Open a GPS Data file containing a trail.
NOTE:
GPS Data Files with relatively long trails take a few moments to open. Please be patient when you open a data file containing a long trail. Once the trail information has been processed, the remainder of the data file will open very quickly.
