TracBack Tips

When a TracBack is active, the GPSMAP 3005C takes the track log stored in

memory and divides it into segments called legs. Up to 300 temporary turns

(BEGIN, TURN 1, TURN 2,...., TURN X, END) are created to mark the most

significant features of the track log to duplicate your exact path as closely as

possible. To get the most out of the TracBack feature, remember the following

tips:

• Always clear the track log at the starting point.
• The Record Mode option on the track log setup page must be set to

Fill or

Wrap.

• At least two track log points must be stored in memory to create a

TracBack route.

• If the track log Interval field is set to Time, the route may not follow your

exact path (keep the interval set to Resolution for best performance).

• If the receiver is turned off or satellite coverage is lost during your trip,

TracBack draws a straight line between any point where coverage was lost

and where it resumed.

• If your track log’s changes in distance and direction are too complex,

300 waypoints might not mark your path accurately. The receiver then

assigns the 300 waypoints to the most significant points of your track, and

simplifies segments with fewer changes in direction.

Man OverBoard (MOB)

Use the Man OverBoard function to simultaneously mark and set a course to a

location for quick response to emergency situations.

To initiate the MOB function:

1. Press and hold the

NAV/MOB key.

2. Press the

Yes soft key to confirm and begin navigating to the MOB

location.

When a MOB is initiated, a MOB waypoint with an international MOB symbol

( ) is created, and the unit is on an active navigation to that point. Use any of

the navigation pages to guide you back to the MOB point. The MOB waypoint is

stored in the waypoint list, and you can delete or edit it like any other waypoint.
