Observation Zones
This menu defines the default observation zone geometry. The following items can be
chosen: start zone, waypoint zone and finish zone.
Each type of observation zone is defined with two angles, two radius and mean bearing
(Angle12). These parameters enable the creation of any known zone geometry separately
for start, turn point and finish.
Using parameters in the zone dialogue it is possible to describe all types of observation
zones.
Angle12 defines the orientation of the observation zone.
Available values for Direction are:
•
Symmetric: This is the most common selection for turn point.
•
Fixed: This is mostly used for assigned areas.
•
Next: will orient the observation zone in direction of the outgoing leg. This is usually
used for start.
•
Previous: will orient the zone in direction of the incoming leg and is usually used for the
finish.
•
Start: orientates the sector always towards the start.
If the Line checkbox is checked the sector will become a line type of observation zone. The
Radius 1 parameter describes half of width of line length. Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons
to increase or decrease radius for step 0.1. Long press will increase/decrease for 5.0.
