3.7 Using Tracks
The Track function is used to mark an on-screen trail that the vessel has
followed, as if it had left a visible fixed wake.
While the track is turned on, it is recorded in the display unit’s memory.
You specify the interval at which track points are made and a line is drawn
on-screen between each point. Up to 2000 track points can be saved in
total.
The track remains on-screen, even following a Power off/on, until the
track is cleared.
Using the SmartRoute function, a track can also be converted to and
saved as a route which is automatically reversed, ready for use as a return
voyage.
This section describes how to:
• Set up a track and specify the interval between track points.
• Clear the current track.
• Convert the track to a route (SmartRoute).
