To activate a TracBack using the NAV key:
1. Press NAV, highlight Navigate Track, and press ENTER.
2. Highlight the track you wish to navigate and press ENTER.
3. Choose either Original, which navigates from the start to the
end of your trip, or Reverse, which navigates from the end to

You must first save a track before using the Navigate Track
option.
If there are no saved tracks, the Navigate Track option is disabled.
Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPSMAP 176/176C takes
the track currently stored in memory and divides it into segments
called “legs.” Up to 50 temporary “turns” are created to mark the
most significant features of the track in order to duplicate your path as
closely as possible.
