5.7Using Tracks

The Track function is used to mark on-screen the trail that your vessel has followed, as if it had left a visible fixed wake.

While the track is switched on it is recorded in the display unit’s memory. You specify the interval at which track points are made and a line is drawn on- screen between each point. Up to 4500 track points can be saved in total, in up to 5 track files (each a maximum of 750 points). The current track remains on- screen, even following a power off/on, until you clear the track.

Breaks in the track will be caused when any of the following occur for longer than the specified track interval: the track is switched off then on; the position fix is lost; the display unit is switched off.

To enable you to follow this track on your return voyage, the SmartRoute function converts the track (or the last segment of a track with breaks) into a route which is automatically reversed, see SmartRoute on page 5-42.

A track can be saved and retrieved for display at a later date. 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.

•Setting up a track, including how to specify the interval.

•Clearing the current track.
