GPSMAP 3205 Owner’s Manual 23basIc oPeratIon > Man overboard (Mob)TracBack TipsWhen a TracBack is active, the GPSMAP 3205 takes the track log stored inmemory 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 mostsignificant features of the track log to duplicate your exact path as closely aspossible. To get the most out of the TracBack feature, remember the followingtips:• Always clear the track log at the starting point.• The Record Mode option on the track log setup page must be set to Fill orWrap.• At least two track log points must be stored in memory to create aTracBack route.• If the track log Interval field is set to Time, the route may not follow yourexact 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 lostand 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 thenassigns the 300 waypoints to the most significant points of your track, andsimplifies segments with fewer changes in direction.Man OverBoard (MOB)Use the Man OverBoard function to simultaneously mark and set a course to alocation for quick response to emergency situations.To initiate the MOB function:1.
