Managing Your Tracks

The GPSMAP 496 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 496 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 sub tab. After the track log is cleared, it shows

zero percent. When the screen 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 ﬁrst 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.

To access the Track tab:

1. Press

Menu twice to open the Main Menu.

2. Highlight

Track from the vertical list of tabs.

Setting Up and Saving Your Tracks

Active 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

has been 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.
Value—records a track according to the Interval and Value. Enter a

speciﬁc distance, time, or resolution.
Color—select a color for the track when it appears on the map.
