• Minor Road Cutoff
Zoom Level
The number entered is used to set the zooming level when major highways are shown
and minor road names drop off the map when Zoom Out is selected in Map View.
Map Orientation Choose how the map is displayed while reading meters by selecting from the drop-down menu.
Starting Location The address shown on the map until the GPS antenna reports the current location of the vehicle.
From then on, the map centers at the vehicle location. Location may also be displayed as latitude/
longitude (lat/long). The location can be manually changed by typing in new information.
OTE:N If ORS does not detect a starting location, it uses the last known valid address to ensure the
route maps display appropriately. An alert message displays when you start to read
the route.
Entry/Exit Zones These distances specify the entry and exit zone distances for determining when there is a missed
read. If the mobile transceiver/receiver passes through the entry/exit zone for an endpoint without
receiving a reading, ORS records a “MISSED” alert for the endpoint.
