current position and draws a new leg between this and the next
waypoint. It also resets the bearing and distance readouts.
3.45 Chart: Tracks
You can show or hide your tracks. You can store and display
multiple tracks.
The current track is displayed as a broken line and is a different
shade to the older tracks.
If you choose to show your current track, it appears as a purple
line on the chart with a broken line connecting the last track point
to the vessel symbol. The GB40 stores your track automatically in
the Tracks Library.
You can use the tracks library to:
•
start a new track
•
delete a track
• rename a track
•
select and display a stored track on the chart
•
display the direction arrows on a track
If you've chosen to store your tracks then, when your vessel is
underway, the GB40 automatically creates a VT point (Vessel
Track point) whenever the heading changes or whenever the
distance traveled exceeds that specified in the VT settings.
Note: The current track cannot be deleted and is always visible
if Show Tracks is On. There can be only one current track. You
cannot set an old track as the current track.
3.46 Chart: Tracks settings

you can change them at any time, if necessary:
