Using the Map
Different Maps can be useful for tracking groups and checking terrain.
You can select between them by pressing the map select button on the right-hand side.
• OpenStreetMap – Detailed and accurate road and footpath map
• Google Road – Accurate Roadmap used by Google
• Google Hybrid – Satellite Images with Google overlay
• Custom (OS Maps) – Ordnance Survey Leisure Maps
The scale of the OS Maps depends on the zoom level – listed here from least zoom to most zoom:
• Standard Simple street-view mapping
• 1:50k Leisure Topography
• 1:25k Leisure Topography (Recommended)
• Standard Vector Map (Shows individual buildings)
Viewing Tracker Information
ackers show up on the Map as dots. If multiple trackers are in the same location, then they will become grouped together.
Selecting a Tracker will give additional information including:
- Speed – Given in KM/h
- Street Address – For putting into Satellite Navigation
- Device Time – The last time the Tracker sent its location.
- Alarm – Will only show if the blue button on the unit has been pressed.
Pay attention to the Device Time, as this will indicate when the Tracker was last actively sending its location – in areas of poor signal, this information can be used to locate groups.
Selecting the button shown here, the history of the Tracker can be displayed. Selecting your time period will allow you to scroll through the data points and download the data for import in other software.
