XTE alarm distance When navigating a route, this value determines when the
cross track error alarm sounds. Cross track error is the
distance you are away from the planned route. If this setting
has a value of 100m the alarm will sound if you are 100m or
more from the route.

distance
When navigating a route, this value determines the distance
at which ViewRanger will consider you to have arrived at a
waypoint. Once you reach this distance from a waypoint,
ViewRanger will start pointing to the following waypoint.
The default value is 15m – so once you are within 15m of a
waypoint, ViewRanger will start pointing to the following
waypoint. If you have alarms enabled, the arrow will still be
red while you are within the alarm distance.
Heading Vector
Time
In the Map view ViewRanger shows an arrow indicating the
direction you are travelling in. The length of the arrow is
how far you will travel in a given time period. This setting
controls that time period. If the value is 10 minutes, the
arrow indicates where you will be in 10 minutes time.
Set this to zero to hide the arrow.
Stationary Speed Sets the lowest GPS speed at which you are considered to
be stationary.
Heading Samples Specify the time over which ViewRanger should sample to
work out your heading, smoothing out any errors. For a very
accurate GPS receiver you could reduce it to 1 second,
which would make the heading more responsive. For a poor
GPS or for poor conditions (such as tree cover) then you
might increase it to 4 seconds to average out the errors but
make it less responsive.
Connection Choose between connecting to the GPS receiver ‘When
needed’ (e.g. when you press 2) or ‘At startup’ (when
ViewRanger starts).
