Navigating Trails
There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigat-
ing a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward). Try each
method to see which you prefer.
V
isual trailing is the simplest method. It uses only the Map Page an
d
requires no menu commands at all. The technique works the same i
f
you are running a trail forward (from start to end) or backward (from
end to start.) Visual trailing, however, provides no navigation informa-
tion during the trip, such as the time to your destination.
The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data an
d
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 wa-
ter, the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy.
