Track Tab
Saved Sub Tab
Active Sub Tab
The Saved sub tab shows and manages a list of all saved track logs, allows for TracBack activation, and Map Page of saved logs. The active log stores up to approximately 10, 000 track log points, based on the criteria specified in the Track settings. You can save up to 15 track logs in memory, with up to 750 track log points in each saved log. A TracBack can be started from any of the saved tracks on this tab.
The Active sub tab is for the active log (the log currently being recorded). Refer to page 58.

MAIN MENU > TRACK TAB
For the Active tab, the following settings are available: · Record Mode--contains three track recording options: · Off--no track log is recorded. · Fill--a track log is recorded until the track memory is full. · Wrap--a track log is continuously recorded, wrapping through the available memory (replacing the oldest track data with new data). · Interval--defines the frequency at which the track plots are recorded. Three interval settings are available: · Distance--records track based on a user-defined distance between points. · Time--records track plot based on a user-defined time interval. · Resolution--records track plot based on a user-defined variance from your course over ground. The resolution option is the default setting and is recommended for the most efficient use of memory and TracBack performance. The distance value (entered in the value field) is the maximum error allowed from the true course before recording a track point.

· Value--defines the distance or time used to record the track log. For the Saved tab, the following menu options are available: · Delete Track--deletes highlighted saved track log from memory. · Delete All--deletes all saved track logs from memory.
