Yesterday I played with the parallel track function in the CNX-80 for But, here's my question. Why is it in the box to begin with? Other than the gee-wiz marketing value, is there any real practical reason for it existing? We use it for search and rescue in Civil Air Patrol. Not only is there parallel track in some of the boxes, some of the Garmins have the ability to turn on the CAP grid system "overlay", so that one can see (within the accuracy of GPS) that you are inside or outside of a particular grid, and turning on the "bread crumbs", you can even see how accurately you flew the grid and if you covered it all.
