The WayPoint
tm
200 includes a Bluetooth card in the CF slot. This card can support up to 7
devices simultaneously in a pico net. The list of devices that have Bluetooth support is growing
daily.
The CF card slot and the SD card slot can support memory devices from a variety of
manufactures. Note there is a wide variation of performance and current requirements on these
devices. Generally the faster devices will have more impact on the battery life. The SD slot does
not support I/O devices but does support MMC cards. MMC cards are typically about 3X
slower than slow SD memory cards on the WayPoint hardware.
Advanced WayPoint Software features
Geocaching
Geocaching is a hobby where some people hide a cache of stuff (none of it particularly valuable)
and then identify the location with GPS coordinates. Other folks set off to find these hidden
treasures and leave their name in a log book. It is actually more fun that it sounds and it can be
done with the unit you have. Here is how:
1. With the GPS off use the Tools > Find > Latitude Longitude
2. Enter the values for the Geocache site and add it as a landmark.
3. Route to the Landmark you created to drive as close as your car can get.
4. Use the air navigation panel if you need the map or the GPS status screen to walk to the
geocache destination. Good Luck!
Using the Log file
The WayPoint software includes the ability to create a log file that will record a trip. There are
many things that can be done with the log file.
• The log file can be saved in a file.
• The logging (GPS trail) can be displayed live on the screen so that you can see a visual
record of where you drove while you are driving. This can allow you to retrace your
steps visually if you need to.
