Waypoint
Waypoints are a set of coordinates that identify points in physical space. For the purpose of terrestrial
navigation, these coordinates usually include longitude and latitude, and sometimes altitude. The Waypoint
name is limited to 10 characters long. It can be named or renamed in GPS Master. Renaming can be done easily
by just kicking and dragging on the waypoint names.
Path
Path is a collection of waypoints. It can be treated independently as scattered waypoints; or linked in sequential
order (either forward or backward). Linked waypoints form a PATH (or route). GPS Watch has 10 Paths. Each
path has a maximum of 99 waypoints. Paths can be created by Lap-To-Waypoint function. Or they can be
created by GE (Google Earth) or GMaps (Google Maps) then they are imported to the watch through GPS
Master. The Path name can be 32 characters long.
Workout log
After workout/navigation has started, GPS Watch collects all the information into a log. The sampling interval is
controlled by the values in the TrackLog setting. Workout logs contain: starting time and date, workout
summary, lap details, speed, distance, HR and track data.
Pace
PACE is commonly used by runners to estimate the time required to go to a destination. It is defined as the
elapsed time needed per Km / Mile. It is another interpretation of speed but in reverse unit. The unit of PACE is
specified in Menu-->Settings-->System-->Units-->General.
E.g. if the unit is Km and PACE is 6 then it means that you are running at 6 minutes per Kilometer. It is equivalent
to 60/6 => 10 KmH. If PACE is smaller, it means that you are running faster.
Compass bearing
Compass bearing is equivalent to azimuth bearing. An azimuth bearing uses all 360° of a compass to indicate
direction. The compass is numbered clockwise with north as 0°, east 90°, south 180°, and west 270°. So a
bearing of 42° would be northeast and a bearing of 200° would be southwest, and so on.
