One real-time track record, with two kinds of recording methods, may regulate
the interval, pause etc. at any time during the process of recording.
A total of 40 track lines, 2100 track points for each track , can store 84,000
track points in total.

Track record setting
Double-click the MENU key to enter the main menu, move the cursor to the
"Track" column, see Figure 22, the options for the track record method are as foll-
owing: "Mode" and "Interval". The "Mode" includes the two options: "Fill" and
"Wrap". The "Fill" modeis: When a track record is completed, the system will save
the current track and meanwhile start a new track record. The "Wrap" mode is:
When it reaches the 2100 track points for the current record, remove the track point
on the end of track line, and store the newest track point, make a cycle use of a
track's storage space.
The " " determines the span of the adjacent track points recorded, one is to
determine the span of track record by the "Time"; The other is to determine the
span of track record by the "Dist". Thus, the options for " " include:
the measurement of the record and the interval of the record. The measurement of
the record is , and the corresponding units of measurement are
" " and "nm".
The "Time" mode for the track record is as following: it takes time as the mea-
sure unit for track record interval, and records 1 track point in a specific time int-
erval. The smallest time interval is 1 second, under the recording mode of time, the
track points which change less than 0.001 points at the latitude and longitude will
not be continuously recorded.

Selecting "Type" means to adopt a different way of drawing to display
the tracks on the chart screen, the line the following four kinds
of line : dashed / thin solid line / thick solid line / point solid line. The
"color" selecting refers to use different colors to display the track on the
chart screen, a total of 8 kinds of colors to choose.

The "Dist" mode for the track record is as following: it takes length as the measure
unit for track record interval, and records 1 track point in a specified distance range.
The smallest distance interval is 0.01 nm (about 18 m).
Choosing a suitable interval value for the track record can make a full use of the
track storage space, e.g., if take 0.5 nm (about 900 m) as the record interval, for a
track record of 2100 track points, it can record at least nm miles of the routes; If
sail at the speed of 10Knots, you can record the track points for 100 hours.
Note The track recording method can be changed during the track record; The
original state before being shut down will be maintained.
