My backlighting doesn't appear to be working. Can still see the data but very faint. Can this be repaired. GPS excellent condition.

I'm interested in having a "breadcrumb" track shown on the screen for when I bush walk (for easy returns) but the manual is not that user-friendly; any clues?

Thanks Dave

You can set the position recordings manually in the setup. They can be based on Distance traveled or on Time Interval. For busy walking I found time based 30 second recordings give a great breadcrumb trail especially through thick bush when progress might be a bit slow. In open country or on the sea, 100 meter intervals are great and offer recording of long distances. However you can reduce this down to 10 meter distances and get great detail. The points will run out sooner so not good for very long trips. There is also the automatic mode where the machine will change the recording interval to suit the speed you ar travelling at. All done in map set up.
