To get a feel for how the Main Menu Page works, let’s clear out the track log you created during 

the simulated tour. This will ensure that you have a clean slate once you start navigating in your 
home waters.

The Track Log Page allows you to specify whether to record a track plot, defi ne how it is recorded 

and save your current track log. It also provides both an indicator of the percentage of total memory 
used and the individual options to save or clear the active track log.

1.   Highlight the ‘Clear’ option and press ENTER/MARK. A confi rmation page will appear.

2.   Highlight the ‘OK’ prompt and press ENTER/MARK to confi rm.
