tracks delete everyday?

[Duffy37]

My machine records my track all day then when I turn on machine in morning all tracks are gone. I want tracks from each day to stay until I manually delete them. Last year I could go all season and see all my tracks to various spots. What changed? TZT 3

Make sure Track Recording is on. Check to ensure automatic track deleting is turned off. Home=> Settings=>Ship Track - Auto track delete off
then be sure tracks are set to show. Access layers menu=>user objects - Tracks show/hide

so i went through all this it tracks fine all day. Turn it on in the morning and everything is gone? Cant find the problem.

 

[JJ Neutron]

Is the tracks show/hide switch turned on in the layers menu?

 

[Duffy37]

All settings are correct dont know why but it only keeps the previous trip? Anyone else having this problem ? Would any route settings affect this? Or track recording time length?

Never heard of unit that drops them after each trip unless they are being cleared by someone, maybe at another operator position on the boat.
I do recommend the AUTOMATIC track deletion so that the machine doesn't fill up with tracks and then stops tracking at strangest or inconvenient time. I also recommend that tracks are set to drop by "Distance" and not "time" because time will drop and waste points under the boat just sitting and it will eat up your tracks. Maybe that is what you have going ON. If the machine is set for time, it just uses up all your track data in a big pile under boat and yesterdays tracks are gone.

That would be my thoughts as well.

 

[Duffy37]

ok I will try distance what is recommended?

 

[Johnny Electron]

I would recommend .05 NM which is dropping a breadcrumb every 100 yards. If you wanted closer then .03NM which is every 60 yards
