Map Setup Page and Orientation (cont.)

• ’Nearest’— shows up to nine nearest waypoints (from

your present position) on the map.

• ’Names’— displays the waypoint name for up to nine

nearest waypoints.

• ’Track Log’— displays and plots track log points on the

map.

To turn a map item on or off:

1. Highlight the data field next to the desired option and

press .

2. Select ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ and press .

Track Setup Page

The track setup page lets you manage the GPS 12XL’s

track log data (see pg 24). You can also select whether to

record a track log and define how it is recorded.

To turn the track log on or off:

1. Highlight the ‘RECORD’ field, and press .

2. Select ‘OFF’, ‘FILL’, or ‘WRAP’, and press .

(Note: Turning the track recording off will prevent you

from using TracBack).

Track Method

The track ‘method’ option determines how often

positions are stored in the track log. The default setting

is ‘auto’, which records track points based upon a set

variance from your projected course over ground.. This

setting gives the most efficient use of track memory

and provides the best TracBack performance.

To change the method to record points based on

a specific time interval:

1. Highlight the ‘METHOD’ field, and press .

2. Select ‘TIME INTERVAL’, and press twice.

3. Enter hours, minutes, and seconds, and press .

Track Log Display

The track log option sets the number of points the

unit will attempt to display on the Map Page. The

default setting of 250 points provides good resolution

with minimal screen clutter. The maximum setting is

1024 points. Once you’ve reached the maximum num-

ber of track points, the older points will be lost as new

points are added. Note that adjusting the track points

displayed will not affect how the receiver records track

log data or the ability to create a TracBack route.

Use the track setup page

to control the way the GPS

12XL manages track log

data.

REFERENCE

Map & Track

Setup

Entering a large time

i n t e r val into the track

re c o rding criteria may

plot your position points

f u rther apart than they

would be in the ‘AUTO’

setting. This will increase

the distance you can trav-

el without using up your

track log, but will greatly

reduce the effectiveness of

TracBack.
