Land Hogs Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Still new at this, but I've noticed that when I initiate the backtrack mode on my Meriplat (version 4.02) I see what appear to be random waypoints. They are points given a number starting with BP and are on the backtrack trail. Were these randomingly generating by the GPSr? Is this a new feature of 4.02?

+Lil Devil Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 Well I was going to tell you to RTFM, but I just looked (at page 51) and see that the manual sucks. So then I checked the manual for my Garmin GPS V, and it sucks, too So I'll tell you what I remember reading somewhere The GPSr backtracks by reducing the track to some number of waypoints (usually 10). It then generates a route back through these waypoints, and starts navigating that route. Sorry thats not more clear. Perhaps someone else can point to a better reference.
