Out-of-Route
Options
• Collect Out-of-Route AMR Reads: Check this box to read meters not loaded into the current
route. See "Out-Of-Route Reads" on page 47 for details.
• Verify Collection of Out-of-Route AMR Reads: Check this box to send out-of-route readings
back to reading data management.
OTE:N When collecting out-of-route readings, the unload file can become large and may slow
down the performance of the laptop. Badger Meter does not recommend collecting
out-of-route readings during regular meter reading.
Geocoding
Options
• Geocoding Mode: Select from the drop-down menu to turn geocoding On or Off.
If Geocoding Mode is On (and you have an RSSI transceiver/receiver), the software stores the
vehicle latitude and longitude coordinates for the meter's location where the strongest signal is
received. See "Geocoding Meter Locations" on page 48 for additional information.
• Update Latitude/Longitude Sound: An alert may be added so you can recognize when
geocoding is active. Choose a sound from the drop-down menu in this field. Click Play to
preview the sound.
• Add Geocoded AMR Reads to Map: Check this box so geocoded endpoints display as icons on
the map. This check box is not accessible if Geocoding Mode is Off.
