Active Track Tab
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 38-40 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 2000 track log points, based upon
the criteria specifi ed in the Track settings. Up to 15 track logs may be saved in memory, with up to
500 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 (replac-
ing 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 based upon a user-defi ned variance from your course over
ground. The resolution option is the default setting and is recommended for the most
effi cient use of memory and TracBack performance. The distance value (entered in the value
eld) is the maximum error allowed from the true course before recording a track point.
