[. . . ] · If the `method' option on the track log setup page is set to a time interval, the TracBack route may not follow your exact path. (Keeping the criteria set to automatic will always provide the most detailed TracBack route. ) 44 REFERENCE · If the receiver is turned off or you lose satellite coverage during your trip, the TracBack route will simply draw a straight line between any point where coverage was lost and where it resumed. · If the changes in direction and distance of your track log are very complex, 30 waypoints may not be enough to accurately mark your exact path. The receiver will then assign the 30 waypoints to the most significant points of your track, and simplify segments with fewer changes in direction. · If you want to save a TracBack route, copy route 0 to an open storage route before activating another TracBack. Activating another TracBack or storage route will overwrite the existing TracBack route. (We'll cover more on route management in the following pages. ) · Whenever a TracBack route is activated, the receiver will automatically erase any temporary waypoints (e. g. , `T001') that are not contained in routes 1-19. If there are temporary waypoints stored in routes 1-19, the receiver will create any new temporary waypoints using the first three-digit number available. 45 REFERENCE Route Definition Page The last form of navigating to a destination with the GPS II is by creating a userdefined route. The GPS II lets you create and store up to 20 routes of 30 waypoints each. B C D A Fig. 46 46 The route navigation feature lets you plan and navigate a course from one place to another using a set of pre-defined waypoints. Routes are often used when it's not practical, safe, or possible to navigate a direct course to a particular destination (e. g. , through a body of water or impassable terrain) (Fig. 46). REFERENCE Route Definition Page (cont. ) The right side of the route definition page features several `function' fields which let you copy, clear, invert, or activate the displayed route. Routes 1-19 are used as storage routes, with route 0 always serving as the active route you are navigating. If you want to save a route that's currently in route 0, be sure to copy it to another open route, as it will be overwritten by the next route activation. 47a The `route number' field is displayed at the top of the page (Fig. If no user comment is entered, the field will display the first and last waypoint in the route. The waypoint list on the left side of the page accepts up to 30 waypoints for each route, with fields for desired track and distance between legs. The total distance of the route is indicated below the waypoint list. Fig. 47b 47 REFERENCE Creating and Navigating Routes To create a route from the route definition page: 1. As you continue entering the rest of your waypoints, the list will automatically scroll down as needed (Fig. 48b 48 Just like the Tracback feature, routes are broken down and navigated in smaller segments called `legs'. The waypoint you're going to in a leg is called the `active to' waypoint, and the waypoint immediately behind you is called the `active from' waypoint.
