4.8 Using tracks
A track is an on-screen trail that represents the course you have
taken. This trail is made up of a series of track points which are cre-
ated automatically. You can save the track to create a permanent
record of where you have been.
Creating a track
There is a maximum number of track points that can be stored by
your system. A warning will be shown if the track you are creating
uses the maximum number of track points and, if you continue to
record the track, start to overwrite the earliest track points with
newer ones.
