Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPSMAP 172/172C takes the track log currently stored
in memory and divides it into segments called ‘legs’. Up to 50 temporary ‘turns’ (BEGIN, TURN 1,
TURN 2, TURN 3,...., TURN X, END) are created to mark the most significant features of the track log
in order to duplicate your exact path as closely as possible. To get the most out of the TracBack feature,
remember the following tips:
• Always clear the track log at the point that you want to go back to (dock, etc.).
• The ‘Record Mode’ option on the track log setup page must be set to ‘Fill’ or ‘Wrap’.
• There must be at least two track log points stored in memory to create a TracBack route.
