As
you
are moving, the eXplorist continuously records your
track. Much like leaving breadcrum
bs
on
the traiI
that
you
can
use
later to find your
way
back, the eXplorist leaves
llelectronic breadcrumbs"
on
the map. The advantage
here
is
that you
don't
have to worry about animals coming
along and eating your return route markers.
This provides you with just another tool to make your
eXplorist more val uable to
you
out in the field or
on
the
waters.
You
can save your active track
as
a track log or
as
a multi-leg route
that
you
can
use
over and
over.
You
can
also create a backtrack route
that
wi
II
gu
i
de
you
back to
your starti
ng
poi nt, followi ng the same path
you
just took.
You
wi"
fi
nd
many other additional uses for track logs once
you
feel comfortable with them.
As
mentioned above, track logs are records
of
your travels using electronic breadcrumbs to
record where
you
have been. Track logs can
be
a track history
that
you
have saved or the
active track the eXplorist is recording.
Features
of
Track Logs:
• Active track is recording your travels whenever
you
are moving unless
you
have
intentionally turned
it
off.
• Active tracks can
be
cleared, stopped, and resumed, adding flexibility to recorded
tracking.
• Active tracks can
be
converted to a saved multi-leg route, providing a quick and
easy
way
to create routes that can
be
used in the future.
• BackTrack, a function of Track Logs, provides
an
easy,
and quick
way
to activate a route
that
wi
II
return
you
to your starting position.
