3. Asking ProMark3 to Retrace your Steps
If the Track Mode is active (see page 235), the ProMark3 au-
tomatically creates and stores hidden points into memory as
you move. This series of points is called the “track” or “track
history”. To retrace your steps, do the following:
- Press MENU and tap Routes.
- Select Backtrack.
- Press MENU again and tap Activate Backtrk. A message
appears warning you that the Track History Logging is now
disabled.
- Tap OK and press NAV to return to the Map screen. Now
let ProMark3 guide you along the existing track, using the
track’s hidden points as navigation waypoints, to go back
to the track’s start point.
4. Creating a Route from the Track History
- Press MENU and tap Routes.
- Select Backtrack.
- Press MENU again and tap Save Trk to Rte. ProMark3 con-
verts the track’s hidden points into User Waypoints. The
new route then appears on the Route List screen. It con
-
sists of waypoints that are numbered “TxxPyy” (where xx
is the route number in the list and yy is the order number
of the waypoint in the route).
For example the created route could be named “T01P01
.. T01P07”.
Note that the the route is a copy of the track and not the
backtrack.
