Navigate a Trail

There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigat- ing a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward). Visual trail- ing is the simplest method. It uses only the Plotter Page and requires no menu commands at all. The technique works the same if you are running a trail forward or backward.

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.
