1. Is there a distance/time travel log that tracks along as you go down river?
2. Can this be reset?

Yes, there is.

Starting from either your sonar page or chart page ... click on the following buttons in this order:

menu
overlay data
show (should have X in box if you want data to show on screen)
configure
menu
add
trip calculator
trip distance & trip time
menu
done configuring

You would then have the distance traveled (TRPD) and time spent traveling (TRPT) showing on your screen ... along with depth, temp, speed, and any other overlay data you've chosen.

To "reset" ... (or actually remove the trip data & reset everything to zeros) follow this sequence:

menu
settings
system
trip calculator
trip active ... (should have X in box if you want calculator to accumulate data)
reset ... whichever data you wish to zero out
menu
enter
menu
menu ... and you're back to your sonar/chart screen


You can also MOVE each of the different overlays to a section of the screen of your choosing. You will notice that option when you have the "Configure Item Locations & Sizes" screen on, and click on the Menu button ... it's the first/top option in that menu box.

Now, don't hate me if this info is inaccurate ... I'm manually running my unit "in home", so I'm not able to collect & then change the trip data, like I could if I were running the unit "on the water" (since I'm not moving, no data is being collected). I would assume that, if you wanted to collect the trip data ... but NOT have it show "on screen" ... then the second series of button pushes (the "to reset" series) would be all you'd need to engage. To see the trip statistics, at any time, you'd just have to enter in the first 4 button pushes ... which would take you to the Trip Calculator screen, where your trip data would be shown. The first series of button pushing instructions is included to show you how to make the trip statistics show up on your screen "all the time" ... IF that is what you would want to see/monitor during the trip.

Any problems following my instructions ... PM me, or post your questions on here, and I'll work with you (or correct my mistakes) to make it easier to follow.
