Magellan SporTrak 37 Working with TrackRoute TrackRoute consists of track points collected by the Track History function. By activating the TrackRoute at the top of the ROUTE MENU, you can navigate from the first created track point to the last track point, making a reverse BACKTRACK. This turns the Track History logging off to keep from overwriting track points in memory. The top of the navigation screens will indicate TO: LEGXXXX where XXXX is between 0 to 2000. As you navigate with the receiver and pass individual track points, the legs will switch and countdown until you reach LEG 0 which is your final destination. The track points will be overwritten once the receiver records new position fixes. This activates BACKTRACK Route by saving the Track History as a 30 leg route and activating it. There may be some track points that are close to each other causing the receiver to skip 1 or more of these legs. 38 Magellan SporTrak Auxiliary Functions Working with Sun/Moon and Fish/Hunt The Sun/Moon function displays solar and lunar calculations and the Fish/Hunt function displays times for excellent and good Fishing/Hunting.

Magellan SporTrak 39 Selecting the Simulate Mode The Simulate mode will help you become familiar with your receiver and how it works by generating artificial position fixes.

[. . . ] It is a "compromise" course bearing that projects from your current position to a point on the courseline mid-way between a point perpendicular to your position and the current leg destination waypoint. Refers to the theoretical mathematical model of the earth's sea level surface. Map makers may use a different model to chart their maps, so position coordinates will differ from one datum to another. The datum for the map you are using can be found in the legend of the map. [. . . ]
