Tracks Settings
Select
> Tracks.
Record Method: Sets how the device records track data. The Smart recording option allows for longer track
recordings. The Every Second recording option provides more detailed track recordings, but may not record
entire tracks that last for longer periods of time.
Auto Save: Allows you to customize the Auto Save settings
Auto Start: Starts recording a track automatically when the device acquires satellites.
Auto Save Settings
When Full: Automatically saves the current recording and starts a new one when the current recording is near
20,000 track points.
Daily: Automatically saves the previous day's recording and starts a new one when you turn on the device during
a new day.
Weekly: Automatically saves the previous week's recording and starts a new one when you turn on the device
during a new week.
Auto: Automatically saves the current recording based on its length and the number of track points taken.
Never: Never saves the current recording automatically. When the current recording nears 20,000 track points,
the device filters the active track to remove redundant points while retaining the shape and history of the
recording. Unfiltered points are saved in a temporary GPX and FIT file that is saved or discarded when the
recording stops.
NOTE: When importing FIT activities or GPX tracks with more than 20,000 track points, the device filters the
line to fit in the device memory and improve map drawing performance, while retaining the shape and history
of the recording. The FIT and GPX files retain all of their original track points.
Routing Settings
The available routing settings vary based on whether Direct Routing is enabled or disabled.
Select
> Routing.
Direct Routing: Enables or disables direct routing. Direct routing calculates the most direct route possible to the
destination.
Activity: Sets an activity while routing. The device calculates routes optimized for the type of activity you are
doing.
Calculation Method: Sets the method used to calculate your route.
Lock On Road: Locks the blue triangle, which represents your position on the map, onto the nearest road. This is
most useful when driving or navigating on roads.
Off Route Recalculation: Sets recalculation preferences when navigating away from an active route.
Avoidance Setup: Sets the types of roads, terrain, and transportation methods to avoid while navigating.
Route Transitions: Sets how the device routes from one point on the route to the next. This setting is available
only for some activities. The Distance option routes you to the next point on the route when you are within a
specified distance of your current point.
