If the planned course will be primarily straight line travel, you should
select “Resolution” storage. In this application, considerably less memory
is used for the same distance traveled.
To store the Ground Track by Resolution...
· Highlight the storage frequency field and select “Resolution” with
CLR.
· Press ENT.
· Enter the resolution range, and press ENT. When your position
moves this defined range off a projected courseline, a new position
is added to the stored ground track.
The track storing function may be turned on and off by highlighting the
“Track>” field and pressing CLR. From this same field, the track may be

bottom line. When available memory is filled or the track is no longer
needed, it may be cleared by highlighting “Clear?” and pressing ENT.
