+Timpat Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Go to Find/Tracks/Current Track/Trackback. Or if you have a different saved track, same steps. Quote Link to comment
Fangamon Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Just remember you have to SAVE the track first, before you can get it to BackTrack! Quote Link to comment
Fangamon Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Really? On the Etrex you can 'backtrack' the current track, is the 62 different? Would be nice but I have never go it to work without a save. Perhaps mine has another bug in this models sh1tty firmware... Quote Link to comment

Click on setup. Click on Tracks.You will see " Track Log ". I set mine to "RECORD,DO NOT SHOW".....this way your tracks will be saved but not clog your screen with track lines. If you need to back track simply select " RECORD, SHOW ON MAP " and you will see it. Quote Link to comment
insig Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Here's a youtube video of how to do it on the etrex 20 -- I think the 62 might be a bit different. I don't remember having to hit menu -> review track to get it to show up on a 62. Quote Link to comment

+L0ne.R Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Just remember you have to SAVE the track first, before you can get it to BackTrack! I did not know that. The last time I tried Back Track on my 62s it didn't work. Now I know why. Thanks very much. Quote Link to comment

On a 62: Main Menu -> Track Manager -> Current Track -> View Map -> Tracback. Quote Link to comment
