Working With Tracks (Trajectories)

Working From The Main Chart View

Trajectory in the Main Chart View:

Right clicking on a Trajectory displays the Trajectory context menu. This Trajectory context menu has purple icons and should not be confused with the context menu for routes which has blue icons. It may be needed to zoom into the chart view to get a clear view of the desired Trajectory. The Trajectory context menu has the following options:

• Hide: Hiding the Trajectory will make the Trajectory invisible on the chartview without deleting the Trajectory info. The hidden Trajectories can be made visibile again using the chart context menu by right-clicking anywhere on the chart and selecting the Show hidden objects option. Hidden Trajectories can also be made visible using the NavManager's Trajectory Management functions.
  
• Delete: This option will delete the Trajectory. The Trajectories deleted by mistake can always be retrieved from NavManager's Trash-Bin. Note that this is only possible if the Trash-Bin hasn't been emptied since you deleted the Trajectory.
  
• Properties: When a Trajectory is selected, the Trajectory details are displayed in the User Objects tab of the Properties page. Double-clicking on the Trajectory displays the same Trajectory Properties in a separate window.
  
• Export: There are two options available:

  • Export To File: This option saves the Trajectory as an object (a .nso file). For more information on importing these file types click here.
  • Send To GPS: This option sends the Trajectory to the GPS.

Trajectories In NavManager

Trajectories can be viewed and managed with the NavManager by clicking on the NavManager button in the main toolbar. Please read the section on Managing Trajectories using the NavManager for detailed information.

Trajectories and TimeMachine

A Trajectory can be created by using a GPS or running a simulation on a desired route. BoatCruiser, internally, binds a time-frame to all the Trajectories acquired through the GPS or simulated using BoatCruiser's internal Simulator. Recorded Trajectories can be revisited using the TimeMachine.

Read the Help section on Reviewing a Trajectory with the TimeMachine for detailed information.
