A track is a recording of points along the path you travel.
Viewing a pro le of a track gives you valuable information
about the track’s elevation—you can view the pro le over
track distance or time recorded while traveling. When the
pro le changes while you are stationary and tracking by
time, the pro le indicates changes in pressure that you
can use to monitor weather changes. The Pro le Page
lets you view the elevation of the active track as it is
recording or that of a saved track.
For more information about tracks, see The Tracks Page
section starting on page 66.
Viewing a Pro le
You can open the Pro le Page from the Home Page
or from the menu on the Tracks Page.
The Pro le Page shows two views of the track you are
pro ling. Press up or down on the arrow keypad to switch
which view is active—the crosshair appears on the
active view.
Detailed–The upper section of the page shows the
section of the track you are viewing. The initial view
shows the track from its start to the current location
(for an active track) or to the nish (for a saved track).
Overview–The bottom section of the page shows
a pro le of the entire track.
Time or Distance
You can view the track pro le by distance along the track
or by time travelled along the track.
To change the pro le method, go to MENU > Switch to
Distance Pro le or Switch to Time Pro le. The x axis
of the pro le graph re ects the method.
