1.  From the Celestial tab, press the ‘Track Up’ or ‘North Up’ SOFT KEY as desired.

Track Tab— lets you specify whether or not to record a track log (an electronic ‘breadcrumb trail’ 
recording of your path), defi ne how it is recorded, or save track log data for future use. The Track Logs 
Page also provides an indicator of the memory used for the active track log and options to clear the 
track memory or start a TracBack route. See pages 32-33 for TracBack information. The Track submenu is 
divided in two tabs: ‘Active’ tab and the ‘Saved’ tab. 

The ‘Active’ tab is for the active log (the log currently being recorded). It displays track memory used 

and current settings.

The ‘Saved’ tab displays and manages a list of any saved track logs, allows TracBack activation, map 

display of saved logs. The active log stores up to approximately 5,000 track log points, based upon the 
criteria specifi ed in the Track settings. Up to 20 track logs may be saved in memory, with up to 1000 
track log points in each saved log. 

For the ‘Active’ tab, the following settings are available:
• Record Mode— lets you select one of three track recording options:
  

Off— No track log will be recorded. Note that selecting the ‘Off’ setting will prevent you from 

 

using the TracBack feature.

  

Fill— a track log will be recorded until the track memory is full.

  

Wrap— A track log will be continuously recorded, wrapping through the available memory 

 

(replacing the oldest track data with new data). 

• Interval— defi nes the frequency at which the track plot is recorded. Three interval settings are 

 

available: 

 

Distance— records track based on a user-defi ned distance between points.

 

Time— records track plot based on a user-defi ned time interval.

 

Resolution— records track plot and will automatically optimize the number and frequency of 

 

track points depending on the complexity of the route. The resolution option is the default setting 

 

and is recommended for the most effi cient use track performance. The distance value (entered in 

 

the value fi eld) will determine the sensitivity of route changes. A higher value will produce a less 

 

sensitive or detailed track and a lower value, a more sensitive or detailed track.

• Value— defi nes the distance or time used to record the track log.
