Navigating Trails There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigating a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward). The technique works the same if you are running a trail forward (from start to end) or backward (from end to start. ) However, visual trailing provides no navigation information during the trip, such as the time to your destination. 49 The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse (from end to start. ) When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use visual back trailing because it is a bit better at following each little turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, such as the highway or on the water, the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy. Simply walk or steer so that your current position arrow traces along the trail you have just made. Tip: Generally, when using this method, the smaller the zoom range, the more accurately you will be able to steer along the trail. Navigate a Trail (forward) The following figures illustrate the menu sequence for navigating a trail. Press || to enter the Saved Trail list, then use or to select the desired Trail Name|ENT.

On the Map Page, the trail you are navigating is represented by a magenta line (if the visible trail option is on). The course you are following (the trail converted to a route) is represented by a red line. To see the red course line, you much turn off the visible trail option. The Navigation Page will show only the red course line, unless you are recording a new trail. The bearing arrow on the compass rose points to the next waypoint on the trail. As you travel, the arrival alarm will go off when you near a trail waypoint, and the bearing arrow on the compass rose will swing around and point to the next trail waypoint.
