Reversing a track ????
« on: August 15, 2010, 02:21:10 PM »
I have not had the time to play with my 898 as much as I 'd like to because of work load so if some one could answer this question for me it would be greatly appreciated. If you save a current track can it be reversed to be followed back to its beginning or do you have to save it as a route in order to reverse it? If it is the lather will it save the bread crumb trail in the route or will it have you go on a straight line coarse ?

A saved Track is a line shaped like it was formed as you naviagte and is not directional. It is made of Track Points. It has two ends and can be followed to either end from any position on it. The end of it is determined by which end you are going towards. So there is no beginning, just two ends.

 A Route is a list of planned waypoints that will have a straight line shown on the view from your start position to the first waypoint on the list. When you reach that waypoint, a straight line will be shown to the next waypoint on the list, etc. It is similar to the line shown when you select "Go To" from your position to a chosen waypoint. You can choose Forward or Reverse for the order you want to navigate the Route waypoint list.

A Route is a planned course and a Track is an actual course traveled.
