Hi all, done a search on this but couldnt find anything.....Ive noticed on the sat nav screen that little dots appear on the roads I drive along and, it seems, on other roads I have driven on recently. Can anyone confirm that this is some kind of "memory" tracing where I've been, and if so, how long it does it remember for. Ive also checked the manual but couldnt see anything. Anyone know what this is? vroom vroom.........

The little dots are the route trace

It's actioned through the route options button

Not sure how long/what distance it remembers but my route began to disappear whilst on holiday in scotland over the two weeks i was up there.

and if you zoom out the little Stars and arrow in red and yellow are the Traffic management icons (TMC

I think I read somewhere it's 200KM, seems to be right according to what I experience 

Wish this thread never started. Its doing my eyeballs no good what so ever trying to work out the logic of those ****** dots. still pining for my 3dr, no removeable hardtop, no drop glass tailgate, no roof rack, no pockets everywhere to stow all that man kit

you can also let your co-pilot gaze at the screen, careful though or he/she may get hypnotised  

Route trace is useful on unfamiliar roads or during off-roading so that so you can 'trace' your way back to civilization!
