WayPoint Operation
Once the WayPoint
tm
Navigation program has been started and the GPS connection has been
establish you are ready to view the maps and operate the program. You can view the help file if
you need to review the operation of any command. When the map screen has a local map loaded
and you are zoomed in quite a way, it will look something like this:
The Map Screen
The screen display to the left shows your current location, if a
GPS is in use, as a circle with an arrowhead on it indicating the
direction of travel. The color can be customized by the user.
The banner has been removed to show more map area. This is a
configurable option. If you remove this title area you will need to
leave the WayPoint software using the WayPoint button or bring
up a subscreen to use the system menus.
Other items that can be seen are an optional scale (lower left
corner), and points of interest (POI's), such as hotels and
restaurants, which are also called landmarks. Note that some of the
POI's do not have icons so they are shown as small circles on the map. As you zoom out all of
the POI's will be shown as small circles.
An arrow near the right bottom corner of the screen shows the direction of North.
The map can be panned in any direction just by touching the screen and dragging it in the
direction you want to go, or you can use the cursor keypad to do the panning.
