Lowrance 5200c Mode D’Emploi

The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and 

work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference 

between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start 

to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse (from end to 

start.) 
When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use 

visual back trailing because it is a bit better at following each little 

turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, such as the highway or on the wa-

ter, the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy. 
Visual Trailing 
1. On the Map Page, zoom (

 or 

) so the flashing trail is visible. 

2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page. Walk or steer so that your 

current position arrow traces along the trail you have just made. 

Generally, when using this method, the smaller the zoom range, 

the more accurately you will be able to steer along the trail.
