Hi Carlos:
Also take note that if you leave the GPS in its "tracking" state, and 
turn it off (without first saving the track), then later turn it on at a 
new location, the unit will add a track from its last known location to 
the new location. If you have returned to the starting point and switch 
the unit on again, it will indeed "close" the track.
