Garmin 278 Manual De Usuario

The GPSMAP 278 draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or track log 

on the Map Page as you travel. The track log contains points along 

its path, including time, and location for each point. 
The track log starts recording as soon as the GPSMAP 278 gets 

a location fix. For the best results, clear the track log before you 

start traveling because when the track log is full, new track points 

overwrite the oldest track points. 
The percentage of memory used by the current track log appears at 

the top of the Active tab. After the track log is cleared, it shows zero 

percent. When the track log reaches 100%, the most recent track 

points start to overwrite the least recent track points (if Wrap is 

selected for Record Mode). To avoid losing track points, save the 

track log when it approaches the 99% mark.

You must save the track log before you can use the Navigate Track 

feature. The Save feature allows you to store up to 15 track logs 

from certain times and dates. 

1.  Press 

Menu twice to open the Main Menu. 

2.  Use the 

ROCKER to highlight the Track tab. 

Record Mode—Wrap records over the oldest tracks when the 

track log reaches 100%. 

Fill records a track log until the track 

log is full (100%). When 

Off is selected, the unit does not record 

tracks.
Interval—Distance records track points after a specified 

distance is traveled. 

Time creates track points after a specified 

time has elapsed. 

Resolution records track points based on the 

resolution. The higher the resolution entered, the more points 

the unit creates to make the track.
Color—select a color for the track when it appears on the map.
Value—records a track according to the Interval and Value. 

Enter a specific distance, time, or resolution.
