Creating a Backtrack Route
When Track History is on, the unit drops “bread crumbs” at
every travelled interval as set under Track History. Activation
of backtrack automatically creates a route that starts from the
last point recorded to the first point in track history memory.
By following this route, you “retrace your steps” back to the
starting position. Using all the track history points in memory,
the unit calculates a route consisting of legs at least 0.2 nm in
length. Once backtrack is activated, the destination point of
the first leg is LEGxxx, where xxx is a number from 1 to 999,
depending on how many legs are in the route. For example,
let’s say our first destination point is LEG 50. Once that
destination point is reached, the unit will then switch to the
next leg which has a destination name of LEG 49. This count-
down continues until the last destination is reached and then
the unit will indicate ARRIVED. Note that a backtrack route
is not the same as a regular route in that it cannot be edited,
reversed or copied.
Once a backtrack route is activated, the unit will
stop recording track points. Track point recording
will only resume after deactivating the backtrack
route.
When simulation is turned on the unit stops
recording track points. Track point recording will
only resume after turning off simulation.
