Using TracBack on Alpha 100
The TracBack® routing feature allows you to navigate back along your previously recorded track.
Most newer Garmin outdoor handhelds are designed to start tracking once a satellite connection is acquired. Due to this, it is best to reset the track and trip data at your starting point so your device knows the path you should follow back with TracBack routing. This also helps eliminate straight lines from your last known location to your current location (i.e. from your home to the current trailhead).
Performing a TracBack Route
- Select Track Manager from the main menu
- Select Current Track
- Select View Map
- Press TracBack
The handheld will then begin to navigate you back to the start of your trip along the same track you took. You can also use the Map or Compass page to help navigate along the track.
Note: A TracBack route can only be performed using the current track log. If a saved or archived track is chosen, the TracBack routing option will not appear.
