Default Interesting things you can't do with a Laptop

I don't see much point in saving tracks except
while underway. Those who stand watch alone
on the ocean can appreciate it more. Just think
if you went over in that sitution and it was some
time before someone realized you were gone.

At least with a track, there is a chance they'd
find you. Without one, you're lost.

That's true. I typically choose the "fill" option when tracking as opposed
to "wrap"
Even though it would eventually run out of memory, an astute user could
see where I've been.

I wonder if anyone else here saves their tracks to hard drive?

Also, if you leave your GPS on and someone goes
overboard, you can reverse your track exactly.
