The TracBack navigation feature allows you to retrace your path using the track
log automatically stored in the receiverÕs memory. This eliminates the need to manual-

track log points anytime the receiver is on and locked onto satellites (see page 74). 
TracBack routes are created by reducing your track log into a route of up to 30...

Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPS III Pilot will take the track log cur-
