13.3 Tracks
Tracks can be used to make a permanent record of
where you have been. Tracks are made up of track
points that are created automatically at specied
intervals. Tracks can be converted to routes so that
they can be followed again at a later date.
Each track can contain up to 10,000 track points,
when the track limit is reached the track is saved
and a new track is started automatically. Up to 15
tracks can be saved and a 16th track may be active
(currently recording), if the track limit is reached
for the 16th track then the user will be prompted to
delete a current track or stop recording, otherwise
the earliest track points will be overwritten with the
new track points.
Creating a track
From the chart application menu:
1. Select Navigate.
2. Select Start Track.
The start track pop up message is displayed.
3. Select OK.
As you navigate your vessel, your journey is
automatically recorded.
Note: If the power fails whilst a track is being
recorded or the position x is lost, a break will
occur in the track.
Note: If the maximum number of tracking points is
reached, a new track will be started automatically,
unless you have reached the track limit.
4. To complete your track select Stop Track from
the Navigate menu: Menu > Navigate > Stop
Track .
The track stopped pop up message is displayed.
5. Select Save, Erase or Cancel.
• Save — Will save the track and open the Edit
track Properties dialog where you can name
the track and choose a color for the track line.
• Erase — Will erase the track.
• Cancel — Will cancel the Stop Track action.
Track interval
The track interval species 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 — species the interval type
(Auto / Time / Distance).
• Track Interval — species 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.
Setting the track interval
From the My Data menu in the Chart application or
on the Homescreen:
1. Select Tracks.
2. Select Track Set-up.
3. Select Record Tracks By: and set to the
appropriate value:
• Auto— The track interval is automatically
set (Auto will minimize track points whilst
maintaining correlation between the track and
the actual path followed).
• Time— The track points are placed at regular
intervals of time.
• Distance— The track points are placed at
regular intervals of distance.
4. Select the Track Interval and set to the
appropriate value:
• Units of time (available if “record track by” is
set to time).
• Units of distance (available if “record track by”
is set to distance).
• Not available — no Track Interval is available if
the “record track by” is set to auto).
