How To... Use TracBack on Legacy Outdoor Handhelds
- Most outdoor handhelds will start tracking automatically once a
satellite connection is acquired, but some legacy outdoor handhelds will
require that the track log be started manually and/or saved before
TracBack routing will be available.
- Specific steps and recommended best
practices for using TracBack on Garmin's legacy outdoor handhelds can be found
below.

- Starting a Track Log
The Track Log feature must be activated to record your path of movement.
To activate the Track Log feature:
- Press the PAGE key until the main
menu displays.
- Select Tracks.
- Select On next to Track Log.
When track logging is active the On button appears to be
recessed.
- Resetting Track and Trip Data
It is best to reset the track and trip
data at your starting point so your device knows the path you should
follow back with TracBack. This also helps eliminate straight lines from
your last known location to your current location (ie. from your home
to the current trailhead).
- Press the PAGE key until the main menu
displays.
- Select Tracks.
- Select Clear.
- Select Yes to delete the track log
data.

Saved Tracks list.
