9.4 Tracks
You can record any section of a route you take, even if it lies off the
digitalised road system.
You can record for example a bicycle tour and follow the same route
again some time later.
Tracks are saved in KML data format. KML is a widely used data
format. You can also play back your tracks for example in Google Earth
on your PC.
Recording a track
You can record a track when the map is open in Navigation mode or in
Standard mode.
1. Tap on Options > Services > Start Recording.
The S
TART RECORDING window opens.
2. Enter a name for the planned recording.
Note: Only Latin characters are available for naming tracks.
3. Tap on Start Recording.
Starting from your current position, the navigation device will record
the entire route you now take.
The (Record Track) symbol appears at the top right edge of the
screen throughout the recording.
The recorded route is saved in the S
AVED ROUTES AND TRACKS list
in KML data format. It can be loaded again from there at any time.
Stopping the recording
1. Tap on Options > Services > Stop Recording.
The recording is stopped. The recorded route is saved in the S
AVED
ROUTES AND TRACKS list in KML data format. It can be loaded again
from there at any time.
Note: Switching off the navigation device will only interrupt the track
recording. If you want to stop the recording, you must proceed as
described above.
Using a track for navigation
You can load saved tracks as part of planning a route. (Refer to
"Loading routes or tracks" on page 48.)
Note: All tracks that have been saved in KML data format are suitable
for route planning. Use NAVIGON Fresh in order to load tracks from
other suppliers onto your navigation system.
