Track Profiles
A Track Elevation Profile can be created from Digital Elevation Models
(DEM) maps (MapSource U.S. Topo 24K) which include elevation data
contained in the map. In order for a track profile to be created, you must
be located within the geographic area supported by the DEM map data
loaded on your GPSmap 76C. A Track Profile page displays when you
select “Profile”. See page 77 for more information about MapSource U.S.
Topo 24K maps.
