5.7 Using Tracks
The Track function is used to mark on-screen the trail that your vessel has
followed, as if it had left a visible fixed wake.
While the track isswitched on it is recorded in the display unit’s memory. You
specify the interval at which track points are made and a line is drawn on-
screenbetweeneach point.Up to4500 trackpoints canbesaved in total:in the
current track and in up to 5 track files (each a maximum of 750 points). The
current track remains on-screen, even following a power off/on, until you
clear the track.
Breaks in the track will be caused when the display unit is switched off or
either of the following occur for longer than the specified track interval: the
track is switched off then on; the position fix is lost.
To enable you to follow this track on your return voyage, the SmartRoute
function convertsthe track (or the last segment of a track with breaks) into a
route which is automatically reversed, see SmartRoute on page 5-42.
A track can be saved and retrieved for display at a later date. You can only
display one track at a time; you must clear a current track from the screen if
you want to display a saved track.

• Setting up a track, including how to specify the interval.
