51Main Menu: RoutesThe Route functions of the GPS V are described on pages 33-39 of this manual.Main Menu: TracksThe GPS V draws an electronic breadcrumb trail on the Map Page as you travelalong. This breadcrumb trail is referred to as a “track log”. A track log contains infor-mation about points along its path, including time and position. The GPS V can usethis information to allow you to retrace your path, in either direction. The ‘TracBack’feature allows you to retrace your path without having to manually mark waypointsalong the way.Track logs can be saved in memory for later use. The GPS V has memory for tensaved track logs.With the track log feature turned on, track logs are automatically recorded as soonas the GPS V is turned on and has determined its position. To be certain that the ‘Trac-Back’ feature will return you to the desired point, you should clear the track log beforeyour begin traveling. The percentage of memory used in the current log is displayedon the Saved Tracks Page, along with ‘On’, ‘Off’, ‘Clear’ and ‘Save’ on-screen buttons.When available memory is filled, track log data will continue to be saved, but willoverwrite the oldest track data already saved. To avoid losing track data, monitor theavailable memory periodically and save the track log before it reaches 100%.You can set the track log recording interval to ‘Distance’, ‘Time’ or ‘Auto’. With‘Distance’ or ‘Time’ selected, you can specify the distance or time value between tracklog recording points.Main Menu: TracksA track log is an electronic “bread crumb”trail showing where you have been.
