12  NAVIGATION

 

‘Navigation’ is a Land/Air working mode that allows you to continue working with the software at the same time you move around (normally in a car with a laptop). Simultaneously you will be able to integrate the information given by your GPS regarding your position. In this way you will have full information about your movements and the route, track or waypoint that you are following.

 

There are several ways to activate ‘Navigation’ mode:

 

     Click on the  button on the tool bar.

 

     Select the menu option ‘Activate navigation’ in the ‘Communication’ section of the main menu.

 

When you open ‘Navigation’, the data window will appear at the bottom or the side of the screen and the ‘Navigation’ button bar will appear at the top of the screen with the other buttons.

 

‘Navigation’ section of the main menu has the same tools as the button bar as well as a few more specific tools:

 

     Activate navigation: To active this mode.

 

     Horizontal-Vertical views: To change the position of the data window from the bottom of the screen to the side of the screen. You can also activate or deactivate this window by using the  ‘See navigation’ window   option.

 

     Navigate towards a waypoint: When you select this option you will be asked to choose from the list of waypoints loaded at the time, towards which waypoint you want to navigate. You will then be told which direction you have to go in to reach the waypoint.

 

NOTE: If you want to navigate following a route you will have to activate it following the instructions given in the section ‘Activate a route’.
