Using the Tracks Menu Page

The Foretrex 101 draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or ‘track log’ on the Map Page as 

you travel.  The Track Log contains information about points along its path, including time, 
and position. The Foretrex 101 uses this information to allow you to navigate using the 
saved track.  

The track log starts recording as soon as the Foretrex 101 gets a location fix.  For the 

best results, clear the track log before you start traveling because when the track log is full, 
the new track points overwrite the oldest track points.  The percentage of memory used 
by the current track log displays at the top of the page. After the Track Log is ‘Cleared’, it 
displays zero percent.  When the display reaches 100%, the most recent track points start 
to overwrite the least recent track points (if ‘WRAP WHEN FULL’ is ‘YES’).  To avoid losing 
track points, save the Track Log when it approaches the 99% mark.
