On the screen, trails are represented by a solid line extending from the
back of the current position arrow.
The unit is set at the factory to automatically create and record a trail
while the unit is turned on. The unit will continue recording the trail
until the length reaches the maximum trail point setting (default is
2,000, but the unit can record trails 9,999 points long). When the point
limit is reached, the unit begins recording the trail over itself.
By default, the trail flashes once a second, making it easier to see against
the background map. With the default auto setting, this unit creates a
trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you change di-
rections. (The methods used for creating a trail and the trail update rate
can both be adjusted or even turned off. See Sec. 8 for
Trail Options .)
To preserve a trail from point A to point B, you must "turn off" the trail
by making it
inactive before heading to point C or even back to point A.
When the current trail is set inactive, the unit automatically begins
recording a new trail.
