Track back and Back to start (Grit X Pro / Grit X2 Pro / Vantage V2 / Vantage V3)
The track back and back to start navigational features both guide you back to the starting point of your session. Track back guides you back to your starting point via the same route you came whereas Back to start shows the direction to your starting point. Both features show the distance to the starting point of your session.
Track back can be set on after starting a session and can be used only after you've gone far enough from your starting point. Back to start can be set on before the session has been started in the pre-training mode. The display then shows the distance and direction to your starting point throughout your training session.
Note that GPS must be set on for the sport profile to be able to use these features.
