You can personalize track options to suit your requirements:
•
Rename a track.
•
Change the color of a track.

use.
Creating a track
There is a maximum number of tracking points that can be stored
by the G-Series system. It will warn you if your track uses the maxi-
mum number of track points and, if you continue to record your
track, start to overwrite the earliest track points with newer ones.
To start recording a track
1. Press the
TRACKS
softkey.
2. Press the
START TRACK
softkey.
To stop recording a track
1. Press the
TRACKS
softkey.
2. Press
STOP TRACK

3. Choose between
SAVE TRACK
and
DISCARD TRACK

Creating a route from a track
When a track is converted to a route, the system recreates the
course of your recorded journey using the minimum number of
waypoints.
Each waypoint created is saved with the depth and temperature
data (if applicable) for that position.
On completion, the maximum deviation of the route from the
recorded track is displayed and the new route is added to the route
list. You can use it in the same way as all your other routes.
Note: If the power fails while a track is being recorded, or if the
position fix is lost, a break will occur in the track. Only the
last contiguous segment of a track can be converted into a
route.
CAUTION: Before following the route, ensure that it is safe
for navigation, noting that it may deviate from your actual
path travelled.
