The Track Logs Page also provides an indicator of the memory used for the active track log and options to clear the track memory. The Track tab is divided in two sub tabs: Active and Saved. Track Tab Saved Sub Tab Active Sub Tab The Saved sub tab shows and manages a list of any saved track logs, allows for TracBack activation, and Map Page of saved logs. The active log stores up to approximately 10, 000 track log points, based on the criteria specified in the Track settings. Up to 15 track logs can be saved in memory, with up to 750 track log points in each saved log. A TracBack can be started from any of the saved tracks on this tab. The Active sub tab is for the active log (the log currently being recorded). Refer to page 58. Active Track Tab GPSMAP 292/298 Owner's Manual 57 MAIN MENU > TRACK TAB For the Active tab, the following settings are available: · Record Mode--contains three track recording options: · Off--the track log is not recorded. Selecting the Off setting prevents you from using the TracBack feature. · Fill--a track log is recorded until the track memory is full. · Wrap--records the track log is continuously recorded, wrapping through the available memory (replacing the oldest track data with new data). · Interval--defines the frequency at which the track plots are recorded. Three interval settings are available: · Distance--records track based on a user-defined distance between points. · Time--records track plot based on a user-defined time interval. · Resolution--records track plot based on a user-defined variance from your course over ground. The resolution option is the default setting and is recommended for the most efficient use of memory and TracBack performance. The distance value (entered in the value field) is the maximum error allowed from the true course before recording a track point. 58 · Value--defines the distance or time used to record the track log. For the Saved tab, the following menu options are available: · Delete Track--deletes highlighted saved track log from memory. · Delete All--deletes all saved track logs from memory.
