7-12 Track your Buddy (TRACK BUDDY)

You can select a buddy or buddy’s to automatically track their positions. You must setup a tracklist first and set their track status to ON before buddy track can begin. You can also start and stop tracking your buddy and add or remove buddies from your buddy tracklist.

7-12-1 Start or stop tracking a Buddy (START TRACK)

Use START TRACK to track the position of a buddy(s) on your TRACKLIST whose status is ON (see the following section). The buddy’s position is updated at the interval you select in INTERVAL (15, 30, or 60 minutes).

Note: START TRACK will only track buddy(s) on your TRACKLIST whose status is ON.
