Navigate Trail
In Easy Mode, this unit automatically creates a plot trail when turned
on. The trail is saved in memory when the unit is turned off. The
iFINDER continues recording the same trail until you clear the trail,
which erases the old trail and begins recording a new trail.
NOTE:
The iFINDER can record up to 9,999 points per trail, which can be
adjusted in Advanced Mode. The default setting is a maximum of
2,000 points. When trail length exceeds the maximum setting, the
unit begins recording the trail over itself.
In Advanced Mode, you can save and recall up to 10 different plot
trails, which may be copied to your MMC card.
Caution:
You also have the option of turning off trail recording in Ad-
vance Mode. If the option is left off when you switch modes, you
will not be able to take advantage of the automatic trail creation
feature in Easy Mode.
Displaying a Saved Trail
The trail is automatically displayed in Easy Mode by default. Trail dis-
play can be turned off and on only in Advanced Mode.
Navigating or Backtracking a Trail
There are two methods for following your back trail.
The simplest requires no menu commands, but pro-
vides no navigation information during the trip. The
other requires only three keystrokes and provides a
full range of navigation data. Try both methods and
see which you prefer. When walking, visual back
trailingis better at following each turn on a foot-
path. At faster speeds, like on a highway or water,
the Navigate Trail command is handy.
