Navigation & Guidance / Re: Navigation on all tracks
September 04, 2013, 18:41:01
Just one word : Great. :)

I was a little disappointed for my first try : my waypoints were too close so it jumps to more than one waypoint at a time.
But having soon a real try on my next 4x4 trail.

By the way, could you tell me what test locus make to jump the following WPT ?
I think to a distance threshold : under 50m you point the next WPT.
They are other possibilities. But it depends really of the track :
- when dist to wpt rise (you pass it)
- when bearing to wpt becomes behind (90° to 270°)
- a mix of the 2 before.

Selecting the nearest wpt is a good thing
Other ideas : could it be possible
- to select the 1st wpt to reach when starting nav (sometimes, we make "bivouac" in the middle of a track)
- to have a dashboard with as an example : distance, cap and name of the WPT to reach and 2 buttons : force next / previous wpt in the track. It's important for us to have main information at a glance to keep mainly the look on the 40 meters behind the car  :P I've made a lot of assistance during 4x4 raids and the possibility to select rapidly previous wpt could be very interesting.

Thanks a lot menion.
