The trail of previous positions can reflect changes in bearing, speed, and altitude.
Previous locations can be displayed as a trail of markers or as a line that you can also customize. You can have the angle of the marker symbol reflect the direction of motion (bearing), the size based upon the current speed of travel, and the color based upon the altitude. The location is displayed as a user-defined marker symbol. You can answer the question “Where am I?” by accessing ArcMap GPS Support through the GPS toolbar in ArcMap or by writing a custom application using ArcObjects. You can also store locations from the GPS receiver in a log for archival or real-time digitizing purposes.
