I have a Garmin 180 GPSMAP and am finding it a bit challenging to operate.

I'm sure I'm not using it to its fullest extent. When I go somewhere on my boat, the GPS leaves a dotted trail on the screen. When I want to come back, I just follow that trail back.

The chart is starting to get pretty cluttered with all the tracks on the screen. I'm not sure how to delete them or how to turn this function off or on.

I have a manual and it refers to routes and tracs. Are these routes or tracs? Can one be deleted or do they all have to be deleted? How do they relate to waypoints?

If they are not routes or tracks, should I be using routes or tracs and what is the difference between the two?

Thanks in advance.

Joe
