Changing The Track Control - NorthStar 6000i Quickstart Manual And Reference Manual

Changing the track control

The 6000i displays your track history as a
series of dots indicating the path you've
recently traveled. You can choose how
often to store a position fix as a point in
your track history. The 6000i stores up to
4,096 position fixes. When it reaches this
limit, the 6000i starts erasing the oldest
points to make room for your new points.
The more often you mark your track, the
faster you fill up the track memory. The
maximum track length depends on how
often points are stored.
