Using Tracks on the Foretrex 101

The Foretrex® 101 outdoor device automatically draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or ‘track log’ on the Map Page as you travel. Tracks are marked BEGIN and END. The Foretrex 101 uses the Track Log to allow you to navigate using the saved track or using the TracBack feature.

TracBack guides you to where you started by following the track log that you left behind, allowing you to return along a traveled path without marking any waypoints. You can retrace your track in both directions. If you want to keep a record of a certain track log or use the TracBack feature, clear the Track Log before you start traveling.

  2. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight TRACKS and press ENTER to open the Tracks Menu Page.

  3. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight PAN & TRACBACK and press ENTER.

  4. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to pan the track log. Press ENTER to display the Pan Options.
