    3. Select Save.
    4. Select Yes or No when prompted with Do You Want To Save the Entire Track?
      • Yes: The new saved track is a representation of the entire track log from beginning to end.
      • No: A map showing the entire track appears and you are prompted to select the beginning point for the saved track. Use the Thumb Stick to move the Panning Arrow to the desired beginning point on the map and press the Thumb Stick in to select it. Next, use the Thumb Stick to move the Panning Arrow to the desired end point on the map and press the Thumb Stick in to select it.
    5. Select OK.
