Tracks
A track is a graphical presentation of the historical path of the vessel, allowing you to retrace
where you have travelled.
From the factory, the system is set to automatically draw a track. The system will continue to
record the track until the track length reaches the maximum trail point setting, and will then
automatically begin overwriting the oldest track points.
The automatic tracking function can be turned off from the Tracks panel described later in
this section.
Creating a new track
You define the track settings and start the new track from the Tracks Settings dialog described
below.
Track settings
The track is made up of a series of track points connected by line segments whose length
depends on the frequency of track recording.
You can select to position track points based on time settings, distance, or by letting the GN70/
MX61x system position a waypoint automatically when a course change is registered.
¼ Note: The Tracks option must also be turned ON in the chart settings to be visible.
