Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPSMAP 176 will take the track currently stored in
memory and divide it into segments called ‘legs’. Up to 50 temporary ‘turns’ will be created to mark the
most signifi cant features of the track in order to duplicate your exact path as closely as possible. To get
the most out of the TracBack feature, remember these Navigating tips:
• Always clear the track log at the point that you want to go back to (dock, etc.).
• The ‘Record Mode’ option on the track log setup page must be set to ‘Fill’ or ‘Wrap’.
