Trails

A trail is a record of the path you have traveled. Trails not only show you where you have been, they can be used to retrace your path back to your starting point. On the Chart page a trail is presented by a solid line extending from the back of the current position icon.

From the factory, the unit is automatically set to create and record a trail when the unit is turned on and you are navigating. The unit will continue to record a trail until the trail length reaches the maximum trail point setting.

When the unit reaches the maximum trail point number it will automatically begin recording the trail over itself. By default, the unit places a dot (trail point) on the Chart page every time you change course.
