After you save a track, you have a record of the path 

you traveled and a track altitude profile.

 

You can create a Track Elevation Profile 
from Digital Elevation Models (DEM) maps 
(MapSource U.S. Topo 24K), which include 
elevation data contained in the map. When these 
types of maps are available, a Use Map Data 
- Use Track Data option menu appears when 
you select 

Profile. Refer to the Garmin Web site,

www.garmin.com/cartography/ontheTrail/, for 
more information about MapSource U.S. Topo 
24K maps.

You can save your track log to use later as a 
TracBack. When initiated, a TracBack route takes you 
back to the oldest stored track log point.

Route navigation allows you to create a sequence of 

intermediate waypoints that lead you to your final 
destination. The Receiver lets you store 50 routes with 
up to 250 points each.

You can create or modify a route using the Routes 
Page, and you can add waypoints to a route from 
the Find Menu. You can create more complex routes  
using a PC and MapSource mapping programs and 
then transfer them to the unit memory. Auto-Routes, 
which are generated when you select Go To for a 
Find item, map item, or waypoint, cannot be saved. 
Saved routes with more than 50 waypoints cannot be 
navigated using the Follow Roads option.

•  If you select the Go To button on the Waypoint 

Page or other Find Menu items, the Receiver 
creates a straight path (point to point) from 
your current location to that location.

•  If you select the Navigate button on a Route
