Clearing or Erasing a Trail
You can erase the current trail and automatically begin recording a
new one by using the Clear Trail command.
WARNING:
Clearing a trail will erase the trail from the iFINDER's
memory. You will not be able to back track the trail, if it
is erased. If you need to preserve the trail, switch to Ad-
vanced Mode and use the instructions in Sec. 4 for Creat-
ing and Saving a Trail.

Power Saving
One of the biggest drains on the iFINDER's battery is the position up-
date rate – that is, how often the iFINDER checks its location from the
GPS signal. The iFINDER can be set to update less often, which will
diminish position accuracy, but extend battery life.
