Track
Profiles
After you save a track, you have a record of the path
you traveled and a track altitude profile.
You can create a Track Elevation Profile
from Digital Elevation Models (DEM) maps
(MapSource U.S. Topo 24K), which include
elevation data contained in the map. When these
types of maps are available, a
Use Map Data
-
Use Track Data
option menu appears when
you select
Profile
. Refer to the Garmin Web site,
www.garmin.com/cartography/ontheTrail/,
for
more information about MapSource U.S. Topo
24K maps.
Navigating a Saved Track
You can save your track log to use later as a
TracBack. When initiated, a TracBack route takes you
back to the oldest stored track log point.
Creating and Using Routes
Route navigation allows you to create a sequence of
intermediate waypoints that lead you to your final
destination. The Receiver lets you store 50 routes with
up to 250 points each.
Creating a Route
You can create or modify a route using the Routes
Page, and you can add waypoints to a route from
the Find Menu. You can create more complex routes
using a PC and MapSource mapping programs and
then transfer them to the unit memory. Auto-Routes,
which are generated when you select Go To for a
Find item, map item, or waypoint, cannot be saved.
Saved routes with more than 50 waypoints cannot be
navigated using the Follow Roads option.
Methods of navigating to a destination
• If you select the
Go To
button on the Waypoint
Page or other Find Menu items, the Receiver
creates a straight path (point to point) from
your current location to that location.
• If you select the
Navigate
button on a Route
