5.11 GPS configuration

 

Inside ‘GPS’ submenu you will be able to apply changes for:

 

     General

 

     'GPS Auto-search' button will help you to connect your GPS to your software in a very easy way.

 

     The user can preset the GPS connection when starting Land/Air. You just have to select ‘Connect GPS at start’.

 

     Communications Port: You can choose the port of the GPS-computer connection. If you have a Garmin GPS is quite likely to have USB option available (that one would be more appropriate).

 

     Protocol: Choose the protocol used by GPS. If you do not know the protocol to choose, just click at Auto-Detect and Land/Air will identify the original protocol of the GPS (with an exception of these two instruments: Top Navigator and Brauniger Comp / IQ).

 

     If you click 'Speed' after selecting the right protocol of the GPS, you will be able to choose data’s transfer speed. Note that at high speeds can cause errors when transferring information.

 

     Advanced communication options

 

     You can select the GPS datum at the first submenu option.

 

     In case ellipsoidal heights are being used by the GPS, this option should be applied.

 

     If you want to use GPS bearing, this option should be applied.

 

     Separate tracks if you download a file.

 

     Delete the stopped points at the beginning and at the end of the track.

 

     A 2nd GPS

 

1.   First you select the protocol.

 

2.   Then, set the speed.

     Synchronization

 

     Synchronize automatically your recorded tracks from GPS device to computer. Automatic synchonization is done each time Land/Air is launched. The content of tracklog is copied inside the folder 'Track > your GPS device'.
