Bread crumbs on my navigation screen

    My navigation computer leaves a trail of bread crumbs. Everywhere I go, it leaves a trail of dots behind, so there are a LOT of dots around my house on the map.

    It's kind of a funny/interesting feature that could definitely be useful (say, for tracking where your delinquent spouse has been, or finding your way home from a candy-obsessed witch's house) but I've looked in the manual and can't figure out if I can turn this off. I'm pretty sure it only started happening after a trip I took during which I used the navi for guidance. I must have turned it on somehow.

    Any ideas?

    Sounds like you pressed the "trace route" button.

    Look on page 61 of you navigation manual.

    Yeah, that was my first thought, and before I posted I had turned to that page in my manual, and then for some reason I didn't turn to the next page to read the directions to turn it off... maybe I was expecting a picture of what it looked like in "record" mode, with the little dots. That was it, and it's now official:

    I'm an idiot.

    No, you just didn't fully RTFM (read the fine manual). :) (And thank you for going to the manual in the first place!) This reminds me of a tag line that someone on the Yahoo group has which goes something like "cut red wire" (turn page) "but first...."
