    GPS tracks deleting automatically

    Newbie here, I am trying to figure out why my red tracking lines on my helix 12 are deleting. If I go a while without going back to a lake (like a month or so) my red lines aren’t there anymore. Is there a way to keep them from automatically deleting? Thanks

    They actually don't "delete", they "wrap". There is only a certain amount of track data that can be stored and when you reach that point it starts overwriting the oldest track data with the new track data. The best thing to do, if you want to keep track data, is to save it at the end of the day. If you don't save it, it will just be overwritten over time.
