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?

Good point.

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

I agree. Most people rely to heavily on these things.
It is important to confirm your position by other means.

Also, most people, I find don't know how to use their
navigation electronics except in a very limited way. For
short trips in known waters it's unnecessary. For more
complicated situations and longer passages, it is a
God-send.

Knot me, I have a bunch of my favorite anchorage's saved, in
case I need to find them at night.

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.
