Off-Road Navigation
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
Off-Road Navigation
Great for off-road enthusiasts, the 750
NAV
’
S
Off-Road Navigation option allows
marking of favorite trails, hunting, and fishing spots. With this option the user
can route to points not on roads, set landmarks, create trails, and more.
Off-Road is a navigation mode separate from turn by turn navigation and
provides the user with the feel of being a separate product. Once Off-Road
mode is entered, the unit is functionally transformed into a product, which works
just like Magellan’s famous hand held GPS receiver.
Features
Enter navigation points (waypoints) by marking a waypoint by the systems
current position, using the systems cursor, or by entering latitude and longitude
coordinates. The maximum number of waypoints the system is capable of
saving into memory is 100.
Create routes by inserting waypoints into a route list. The 750
NAV
,
guides the
user from point to point by visually connecting the waypoints with highlighted
lines in the order of the route lists. The navigation system then provides
directional instruction to the next waypoint in the route. Waypoint to waypoint
navigation continues in this fashion progressively through the list of waypoints
making up the route. Once the final waypoint in the list is navigated to, the
you
have arrived
voice prompt is heard followed by 3 double chimes. Also a
destination screen will be displayed showing the waypoint name and the
Lat/Long coordinates of the waypoint. The maximum number of routes the
systems can save into memory is 10 with 25 waypoints max. for each route.
Reverse Route - Calculate a route from the last waypoint in the list to the first
waypoint.
Next Waypoint - Navigate to the next waypoint in a route list, allows the user to
step through a route list or skip the next waypoint while driving a route.
The Inclinometer Sensor shows how aggressive the terrain is by
showing graphics with pitch and roll readings of the vehicles current
position.
