The TeleType GPS software contains three different convenient navigation panels optimized for Street, Marine, or Aviation travel.



Street Navigation

Street Navigation is used when navigating a generated route. The following is a description of the

The first line initially reports the distance to the start of the route, and once that position is reached, reports the distance to the next turn and details on that turn. The second line reports the distance to the next turn and details on that turn. The third line in the panel reports the distance left to travel to the destination. The number in the bottom right corner of the panel represents the total number of satellites in view of the GPS receiver.

note
The software also has an expandable "next turn" panel to allow for easier reading of the next turn. To expand or contract the panel, select the triangle in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This panel also provides an estimated time to next turn and to the final destination, and the name of the current road.


Below is an example of the expandable "next turn" panel.

Aviation Navigation

For use by pilots when flying. Each of the different parameters are described at the bottom of this section. The number in the bottom right corner of the panel represents the total number of satellites in view of the GPS receiver (for example, the number "5" in the picture below). Each of the parameters shown in this panel are described below in the Parameter List. Please check the detailed Aviation Guide for more information.

Meaning

LAT

Latitude

LON

Longitude

ALT (AL)

Altitude

ATE

Actual Time En route

TTG

Time to go before destination.

TK

Current track

SPD (SP)

Speed

ODO

Trip odometer, reset at each start of the Teletype GPS program.

TMR

Total trip time

DTG (DG)

Distance to go to the indicated waypoint.

WPT

Waypoint identifier Cross-track. The perpendicular distance between the path of your current position and the destination waypoint.

BRG

GPS

GPS receiver type. Some examples:
 
·N_DIFF 3D indicates non-differential receiver, altitude reading is reliable (within the manufacturer's specifications).  
·N_DIFF 2D indicates non-differential receiver, altitude either not available or unreliable.
