I've had both the Garmin Etrex H and also the Etrex Legend. On both of them you could go into the Tracks > Setup option and turn tracking on or off. It meant then that if I turned tracking off it didn't create a track when I'm only using it for following a track or using it to get statistics at the end of a hike.
On my present unit, the Garmin GPSMAP 62, I see no such option and am presuming that when I turn the unit on it immediately starts recording a track which I can save or discard at the end of my hike. Is this correct or is there some way that I can turn tracking off on this unit also so that I'm not recording a track when I don't want to? I've read the User Manual more than once but see no reference to such an option.
Thank you.
