Track Types:

Red Line
A solid red line represents your path while recording a track with the Track Recorder. Use the "Start Track", "Pause Track" and "Save Track" controls on the MotionX-Track Recorder page to record and save your track. (In MotionX-GPS v18.0 and above you may change the color of your recorded track)
 
Red Dotted Line
A dotted red line represents an interpolated path between two points when signal has been lost.
 
Blue Line
A solid blue line traces your path when a GPS signal is active, but when not using the Track Recorder. In the event that you forgot to start the Track Recorder, you can still save these blue tracks to the Logbook. Press the "Realtime Track" option in the menu that appears when you touch the Maps button (on the bottom left of the Map page) and select Save. All blue tracks will be combined into a single track and saved.
 
Blue Dotted Line
A dotted blue line represents an interpolated path between two points when signal has been lost and the Track Recorder was not running.
 
Green Dashed Line
A dashed green line from the arrow indicates the path to the waypoint you have chosen as your destination using the Go To or Start Nav buttons.
 
Orange Line
A dashed orange line represents a previously recorded track that is being followed. A green start flag indicates the start of the track and a checkered end flag indicates the end.
