Creating a Track
To start tracking...
Press START TRACK.
A track starts to be laid from the stern of the boat using the minimum number of
track points necessary. If the maximum number of 1000 track points is reached,
you will be warned. The track will continue to be recorded with the earlier tracking
points being overwritten.
Track points are separate from waypoints, and do not count against the total
number of waypoints or routes that the system can support.
If the power fails while a track is being recorded or the position fix is lost, a break
occurs in the track. In this case a dashed line fills in the gap from the point where
the fix was lost to where it was reestablished. Only the last (non-dashed) segment
will be converted into a route.
To stop tracking...
To stop laying a track, press STOP TRACK.
You are then asked what you want to do with your track:
To save this track, press SAVE TRACK. The Edit Track box is displayed to enable
you to change the track’s name or color. See
“Changing the Name or Color of a
Route or Track“ on page 93
.
To delete this track from the system, press DISCARD TRACK. A warning mes-
sage is displayed.
To resume tracking, press CANCEL STOP TRACK.
Creating a Route from a Track
Creating a route from a track enables you to retrace a saved track. When a track is
converted the system creates the closest route through the recorded track, using
up to 50 waypoints (or as many waypoints that are remaining in the 1000
waypoint maximum that the system can support, if less than 50).
