Specifications
Never
- never change the file. If logging is turned on, track data will be logged to the
mmTrack.plt
file.
Daily Files, Weekly Files, Monthly Files
-
at the specified interval a new file is created
(TrackLog <date>).
The default is a Daily Log file
- this means for each day of traveling a new track file is
automatically created.
Moving Map
These options cannot be adjusted in the shareware version.
Screen Update Rate
-
The interval in seconds between screen updates. Screen updating can take
considerable time and cause flickering of map objects, this does not look good and reduces
performance on slower laptops. Specify an update rate of a few seconds or more to reduce this.
Store Track Point Interval
-
The interval between track point updates in distance units (Kilometers,
Miles or Nautical Miles), or how often a track point is collected.
Track Tail Length
-
How many points of the track are displayed. Displaying too many points will
slow screen refresh performance dramatically. It is best to limit the number of points displayed. The
full number of points are still collected. Setting to zero will display all points collected so far.
Dock Controls
-
If this option is checked the Moving map and Navigation controls will be docked to
the right hand side of the OziExplorer window, if not checked the controls will be floating.
Scroll Method
-
Select the method to use for map scrolling.
"Keep Map Centered on Position"
will always keep the GPS location in the center of the
screen (unless approaching the edge of the map).
"Center When Near Window Edge"
will allow the GPS location to move towards the edge of
the screen but when within 25% of the edge the map will scroll to recenter the GPS location
"Show more Map in Heading Direction" the GPS location will be positioned on the map so
more of the map is shown in direction your are heading.
Pointer
- Select the shape of pointer desired. The boat and car (4x4) look fairly ordinary but the
aeroplane is pretty good. There are 3 User pointers that can be selected -
see
creating moving map
user pointers
.
Scale
- This is the size of the pointer seen on screen. The larger the pointer the more time it takes to
draw so be careful if you are using a very slow laptop.
Pointer Color
-
The best color to choose for the pointer depends on the major color used on your
maps, for dark maps with lots of brown/green a good color is orange.
Pointer Solid Color
-
If this option is ticked the pointer is drawn using a solid color instead of being
transparent
- you can see map details through the pointer.
Always Check for More Detailed Map
- If the check box is ticked OziExplorer will check at
whatever interval you have specified to see if there is another map available which is more detailed.
The selection is based on distance per pixel, if another map has a smaller distance per pixel it will be
selected and loaded. This in no way interferes with or replaces the normal function of loading the
next map when you cross the map neat line or leave the image. This process involves scanning all
the map files in the "Map File Path" and checking their extent and scale. You cannot set a checking
interval less than 30 seconds, this is to prevent excessive thrashing of the hard disk.
