Creating and Saving a Trail
A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the GlobalMap as you travel. They are particularly handy when you are trying to retrace your trip and go back the way you came. On the screen, trails are represented by a magenta line extending from the back of the current position arrow. The GlobalMap is set at the factory to automatically create and record a trail while the unit is turned on. The unit will continue recording the trail until the length reaches the maximum trail point setting (default is 2, 000, but the unit can record trails 9, 999 points long). When the point limit is reached, the GlobalMap begins recording the trail over itself. By default, the trail flashes once a second, making it easier to see against the background map. With the default auto setting, the GlobalMap creates a trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you change directions. (The methods used for creating a trail and the trail update rate can both be adjusted or even turned off. 5 for Trail Options. ) To preserve a trail from point A to point B, you must "turn off" the trail by making it inactive before heading to point C or even back to point A. When the current trail is set inactive, the GlobalMap automatically creates and begins recording a new trail. Press MENU|MENU| to MY TRAILS|ENT.

New trail, named "Trail 15, " is created when Trail 14 is made inactive. Any new travel will be recorded in this trail, which is active and visible. Trails do not need to be visible in order to be active.
