Marine Mode > Managing Your Tracks Managing Your Tracks The GPSMAP 276C draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or track log on the Map Page as you travel. The track log contains points along its path, and includes both time and location for each point. The track log starts recording as soon as the GPSMAP 276C gets a location fix. For the best results, clear the track log before you start traveling because when the track log is full, new track points overwrite the oldest track points. The percentage of memory used by the current track log appears at the top of the Active tab. After the track log is cleared, it shows zero percent. When the track log reaches 100%, the most recent track points start to overwrite the oldest track points (if Wrap is selected for Record Mode). To avoid losing track points, save the track log when it approaches the 99% mark. Setting Up and Saving Your Tracks You must save the track log before you can use the Navigate Track feature. The Save feature allows you to store up to 15 track logs from certain times and dates. To access the Track tab: 1. Press Menu twice to open the Main Menu. 2. Highlight the Track tab. Track Tab Record Mode-Wrap records over the oldest tracks when the track log reaches 100%. Fill records a track log until the track log is full (100%). When Off is selected, the unit does not record tracks. Interval-Distance records track points after a specified distance is traveled. Time creates track points after a specified time has elapsed. Resolution records track points based on the resolution. The higher the resolution entered, the more points the unit creates to make the track.

Managing Your Tracks
The GPSMAP 276C draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or track
log on the Map Page as you travel. The track log contains points
along its path, and includes both time and location for each point.
The track log starts recording as soon as the GPSMAP 276C gets
a location fix. For the best results, clear the track log before you
start traveling because when the track log is full, new track points
overwrite the oldest track points.
The percentage of memory used by the current track log appears at
the top of the Active tab. After the track log is cleared, it shows zero
percent. When the track log reaches 100%, the most recent track
points start to overwrite the oldest track points (if
Wrap
is selected
for
Record Mode
). To avoid losing track points, save the track log
when it approaches the 99% mark.
