the earlier tracking points being overwritten.

Track interval
The track interval specifies the time period or distance between
the points in a track.
You can adjust the interval between track points and choose the
interval type (i.e. distance or time), which can help ensure best
use of the available storage.
The settings are available from the Tracks Set-up options.
• Record Track By — specifies the interval type (Auto / Time /
Distance).
• Track Interval — specifies the interval value (e.g. 15 minutes).
For example when creating a track for a long journey, an interval
set to Auto could result in rapid use of all of the storage available
for track points. In this case selecting a higher value for the
Track Interval would provide capacity for a longer track.
