Glossary
Waypoint
Waypoints are sets of coordinates that identify a point in physical space. For the purposes of terrestrial
navigation, these coordinates usually include longitude and latitude, and sometimes altitude. Waypoint names
are limited to 10 characters long. It can be named or renamed in GPS Master. Renaming can be done easily by
just kick and drag on the waypoint names.
Path
Path is a collection of waypoints. It can be treated independently as scattered waypoints; or linked in sequential
order (either forward or backward). Linked waypoints form a PATH (or route). Nav Master has 10 Path. Each
path has 99 waypoints maximum. Paths can be created by Lap-To-Waypoint function. Or they can be created by
GE (Goggle Earth) or GMaps (Google Maps) then imported to watch through GPS Master. Path name can be 32
characters long.
Workout log
After workout/navigation start has started, Nav Master collects all information into a log. The sampling interval
is controlled by value in TrackLog setting. Workout logs contain: starting time and date, workout summary, lap
details, speed, distance, HR and track data.
Pace
PACE is commonly used by runners to estimate time required to go to destination. It is defined as the elapsed
time needed per Km / Mile. It is another interpretation of speed but in opposite magnitude. The unit of PACE is
specified in MenuSettingsSystemUnitsGeneral.
.e.g. if unit is Km and PACE is 6 then it means that you are running at 6 minutes per Kilometer. It is equivalent to
60/6 => 10 KmH. If PACE is smaller, it means that you are running faster.
Compass bearing
Compass bearing is equivalent to azimuth bearing. An azimuth bearing uses all 360" of a compass to indicate
direction. The compass is numbered clockwise with north as 0", east 90", south 180", and west 270". So a
bearing of 42" would be northeast and a bearing of 200" would be southwest, and so on.
