Main Menu: Routes
The Route functions of the GPS V are described on pages 33-39 of this manual.
Main Menu: Tracks
The GPS V draws an electronic breadcrumb trail on the Map Page as you travel
along. This breadcrumb trail is referred to as a “track log”. A track log contains infor-
mation about points along its path, including time and position. The GPS V can use
this information to allow you to retrace your path, in either direction. The ‘TracBack’
feature allows you to retrace your path without having to manually mark waypoints
along the way.
Track logs can be saved in memory for later use. The GPS V has memory for ten
saved track logs.
With the track log feature turned on, track logs are automatically recorded as soon
as the GPS V is turned on and has determined its position. To be certain that the ‘Trac-
Back’ feature will return you to the desired point, you should clear the track log before
your begin traveling. The percentage of memory used in the current log is displayed
on the Saved Tracks Page, along with ‘On’, ‘Off’, ‘Clear’ and ‘Save’ on-screen buttons.
When available memory is fi lled, track log data will continue to be saved, but will
overwrite the oldest track data already saved. To avoid losing track data, monitor the
available memory periodically and save the track log before it reaches 100%.
You can set the track log recording interval to ‘Distance’, ‘Time’ or ‘Auto’. With
‘Distance’ or ‘Time’ selected, you can specify the distance or time value between track
log recording points.
