4.7 Alternate starts
The task system allows alternate start sectors to be defined.
To use it, on the task edit page, select the start point, then turn on
the ‘Alternate start points’ property. Then press the button ’Edit
alternate start points’.
To edit the start points, move the cursor to an item in the list on the
right side of the dialog, and press enter. This opens the waypoint
selector dialog, to allow selection of the waypoint. This process
can be repeated several times for several alternate start waypoints.
Press the ‘clear’ button to clear all alternate start points.
Each start sector is fixed to the same type (line/cylinder) and size
(start radius) defined in the task waypoint page.
Note that the task start point should be included in the alternate
start location list.
