Clearing the Track Log
Activating a TracBack
Route
TracBack Navigation
GARMIN’s patented TracBack feature allows you to
quickly retrace your path using the track log automatically
stored in the receiver. This feature eliminates the need to
mark waypoints along the way and manually create and
activate a route back to where you began your trip.
Once a TracBack route is activated, it will lead you
back to the oldest track log point stored in memory, so
it’s usually a good idea to clear the existing track log at
the start of each trip.
To clear the track log and define a starting point for a
TracBack route:
1. From the Map Page, press
ENTER
, highlight the
‘TRACK SETUP’ option, and press
ENTER
.
2. Highlight ‘CLEAR LOG?’, press
ENTER
, highlight
‘Yes?’, and press
ENTER
.
To activate a TracBack route:
1. Press
GOTO
,
2. Highlight the ‘OPT’ tab.
3. Highlight ‘TRACBACK’ and press
ENTER.
Once the TracBack function has been activated, the
GPS 12CX will take the track log currently stored in
memory and divide it into segments called legs. Up to 30
temporary waypoints will be created to mark the most
significant features of the track log in order to duplicate
your exact path as closely as possible. These points will be
indicated by ‘T###’ (e.g., ‘T001’) on the waypoint list,
and by a ‘T’ symbol on the Map Page.
The active route page will appear, showing a route
from your present position to the oldest track log point
in memory. Steering guidance to each waypoint will be
provided back to the starting point of your track log.
