Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPSMAP 182/232 will take the track log currently stored
in memory and divide it into segments called ‘legs’. Up to 50 temporary ‘turns’ (BEGIN, TURN 1,
TURN 2, TURN 3,...., TURN X, END) will be created to mark the most signifi cant features of the track
log in order to duplicate your exact path as closely as possible. To get the most out of the TracBack
feature, remember the following tips:
• Always clear the track log at the point that you want to go back to (dock, etc.).
• The ‘Record Mode’ option on the track log setup page must be set to ‘Fill’ or ‘Wrap’.
• There must be at least two track log points stored in memory to create a TracBack route.
• If the track log interval is set to the ‘Time’ option, the route may not follow your exact path (keep the
interval set to ‘resolution’ for best performance).
