Raymarine C120w doesn't show my trail

[phoebeandlilly]

2005 vintageC120 with new Navionics card. Every other marine GPS I've owned(small Garmins on fishing boats) leaves a trail on the screen of where I've been. Makes it nice for the return trip.

This Raymarine plotter leaves no such trail, and I can't find a setting that turns that feature on. Surely it will do it. That seems like a primary function of GPS on board.

Any thoughts?

Download the manual from the Raymarine site. The track has a data point size limit. Once you hit the limit, a beep sounds and unless you start a new track, you don't show one and its not tracking. I can't remember the button sequence but its in the manual.

Good advise. Manual suggests I must tell it to create the track, then save/rename it for future reference. Not real intuitive, I'd rather it just lay a track behind me all the time.
Thanks

If you leave the track on it will continue to track unless you turn it off like your Garmin.
