WayPoint Operation
GPS – The GPS command: provides GPS status and control. (covered in the “Getting Started
with Navigation ” on page 38.)
Choose Map – A command that is used to manage maps. (covered in “Using “Choose Map” in
the WayPoint software” on page 86.)
Display and Control Options
As discussed in the GPS section, the GPS position icon can be set to lock to the road position.
However, if it you don’t select that option most of the features acts as if it was on anyway.
Tapping on the map:
• Always snaps to the nearest road or object.
• Draws a little house to show the snapped location on a road.
• Displays the address in a box.
• Optionally it can display the name of the city, the latitude/ longitude location, and speed
zone for roads.
Tapping the box removes it or it will disappear automatically if you scroll or do anything else with
the screen. You can tap and hold on the box to bring up a menu that can be used to work with
that object such as setting it as a destination or add it to your favorites.
Tapping a POI object shows information about the object that includes the data about its
location, its name, and perhaps a phone number. If it is one of the Landmarks you defined, it will
display your comment data. There is a limit to the number of lines displayed so if you don’t see a
phone number you can turn off one of the optional display items to reveal it.
You can also touch and drag the screen to pan it in any direction.
Using Hardware Buttons
Most of the important commands have already been programmed to a hardware button.
• The cursor pad can be used to pan the map (when not navigating).
• The thumb wheel can be used to zoom in and out. Pressing down on the Thumb wheel
will select the tools menu and the thumb wheel can be used to select entries from the
menu.
• The 4 hardware buttons under the screen are all pre-programmed to do useful things.
It is important to take advantage of these features, as it can be dangerous to use a stylus while
driving down the road.
