Trails
A trail is a graphical presentation of the historical path of the vessel,
allowing you to retrace where you have traveled. A trail can be con-
verted to a route in the Trail screen, as described later in this section.
From the factory, the system is set to automatically draw a trail. The
system will continue to record the trail until the trail length reaches
the maximum trail point setting, and will then automatically begin
overwriting the oldest trail points.
The automatic trail function can be turned off from the Trail screen
described later in this section.
Creating a new trail
Tap New on the Trails dialog and tap Save to create a new trail. Trail
settings are defined on the Trail Settings dialog described below.
Trail settings
The trail is made up of a series of trail points connected by line
segments.
You can select to record trail points based on time, distance or
by letting the unit position a point automatically when a course
change is registered.
¼ Note: The Trails option must also be turned ON in the chart settings
to be visible.
