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.
You can use the ‘Review On Map’ option to display a saved track
on a Track Map Page.
