7.1.5. Lets take a trip and record a TRACK
Now the unit knows where you are. Press the PAGE button to access the MAP page,
and let’s take a short trip.
•
Making sure the unit is ready to navigate (satellites acquired), walk at a leisurely
pace in a straight line for at least 10 to 30 meters, while observing the Map page.
Approximately 6 to 10 seconds are required for the compass direction to
stabilize.
•
Your immediate location is mimicked by the box icon in the center of the display;
as you walk along, watch the icon proceed along the track line, referred to as a
track. This line represents the path you have covered.
•
Now take a right turn. At this point, you can mark your position (press the Mark
(M) button), thereby entering another waypoint; if you wish, give this location a
suitable name as you’ve done before, and enter the point into memory.
•
Walk in this new direction for a few minutes and then stop. Again, mark this destination or
endpoint in the same manner as before.
