3.7Using Tracks
The Track function is used to mark,
While Track is on, it is recorded in memory as the Current Track and is retained following a POWER OFF/ON. You specify the interval at which track points are created and a line is drawn
Breaks in the track will be caused when any of the following occur for longer than the specified interval: the track is switched off then on; the GPS fix is lost; the plotter is switched off.
Using the SmartRoute function, a track (or the last segment of a track with breaks) can be converted to and saved as a route which is automatically reversed, ready for use as your return voyage, see SmartRoute on page
A total of 4500 track points can be saved, in up to five track files (each containing a maximum of 750 points).
The Current Track can be saved, named and retrieved for display at a later date. For example, you may wish to display a previous track and place waypoints along it that you can follow. You can only display one track at a time; you must clear a current track from the screen if you want to display a saved track.
This section describes how to:
•Set up a track and specify the Track Point interval.
•Clear the Current Track.
