Record Mode—select Off, Fill, or Wrap
Off—does not record a track log.
Fill—records a track log until the track memory is full
Wrap—continuously records the track log, replacing the oldest track data with new data.
Interval—denes the frequency at which the track plot is recorded. Recording more-frequent
plots is more accurate, but lls the track log faster.
Interval—sets whether the interval is determined by distance, time, or resolution. (Press
Change to set the quantity.)
Distance—records the track based on a distance between points.
Time—records the track based on a time interval.
Resolution—records the track plot based on a variance from your course. This setting is
recommended for the most efcient use of memory. The distance value (Change) is the
maximum error allowed from the true course before recording a track point.
Change—Sets the value of the interval.
Color—sets the color of the track plot.
