Trails

A trail is a graphical presentation of the historical path of the vessel, allowing you to retrace where you have traveled. A trail can be con- verted to a route in the Trail screen, as described later in this section.

From the factory, the system is set to automatically draw a trail. The system will continue to record the trail until the trail length reaches the maximum trail point setting, and will then automatically begin overwriting the oldest trail points.

The automatic trail function can be turned off from the Trail screen described later in this section.

Creating a new trail

Tap New on the Trails dialog and tap Save to create a new trail. Trail settings are defined on the Trail Settings dialog described below.

Trail settings

The trail is made up of a series of trail points connected by line segments.

You can select to record trail points based on time, distance or by letting the unit position a point automatically when a course change is registered.

¼¼ Note: The Trails option must also be turned ON in the chart settings to be visible.
