12.2 Data window

 

You can move the data window from the bottom of the screen to the side of the screen. To do so, use the option Horizontal-Vertical views in ‘Navigation’ section of the main menu.

 

This window allows you to view several statistics (speed, altitude, time to next point, course…). They can be configured by right clicking in the window and choosing the option ‘Select fields’. The next window to open allows you to remove or add fields to the data Window. To remove a field, select it from the list in the selected fields’ window (left click) and click on the arrow pointing left. To add a field, select it from the list in the available fields’ window and click on the arrow pointing right. You can also order the fields by clicking on the arrows pointing up and down.

 

The default values of navigation data window are:

 

     Speed: Your current speed is calculated using the information supplied by the GPS.

 

     Tangential acceleration: This value indicates the grade in which you are increasing your speed. A high figure indicates that you are quickly gaining speed.

 

     Normal acceleration: This value indicates the intensity with which you are being taken into the centre of the circumference that you draw while you turn. A high figure in this field indicates a great centrifugal force that will push the contents of the vehicle in the opposite direction to the centre of the circumference.

 

     Turn radius: The more open the curve you are moving along, the larger the turn radius will be, since this figure represents the distance between you and the centre of the circumference.

 

     Real delay: When you situate the pointer on any point of the map, this figure represents the angle that is formed between the line that joins the point you are marking and your present position and another line that joins your present position and the north.

 

     Distance to the pointer: This figure represents the distance between your present position and a position that you mark on the map with the pointer.
