tized road” may appear
when you drive half a mi

road. Breadcrumbs may occasionally be displayed in urban areas, such as
large parking lots in
shopping malls, in new
subdivisions where the
roads are not yet in the database, or in areas where a GPS signal is unavailable, such as in a parking garage. Off-road tracking breadcrumbs are limited to approximately 150 miles.
Breadcrumbs at the
beginning of the trail are
deleted if you exceed
that distance. Breadcrumbs are displayed
only at 1/20, 1/8, 1/4,
and 1/2 mile map scales.
