to learn how to configure system variables for custom overlay text.
To insert a system variable into your overlay text:
1. Access the overlay text feature in your custom layout by following steps 1–5 in
above.
For example
, in the layout below, "gpsvar1" (variable name) contains the text "N103 68201
W765 29712". Inserting the variable name in the text overlay field displays the variable's value
in the custom layout.
To insert the "gpsvar1" variable into your custom layout, simple type
%(gpsvar1)
into the
Text
field under the Text settings header.
The font size of a system variable may change within a text label depending on each variable's
character count. To maintain a consistent font size within text labels, it is recommended you keep
all system variable values set to the same character count (e.g. 10 characters saved to each
system variable).
