The Main Menu and Contextual Menu Access. The most noticeable change in the
software is that you can now access the Main Menu on any of the Navigational screens by
pressing the MENU button. Pressing ENTER on any of the Navigational screens brings
up the contextual menu with many more options then were previously available.
Area Calculation. The Triton receiver can calculate the
perimeter and area of the space defined by your track. It
takes your current track (or a saved track or route) and
computes the values for the perimeter and area.
In this example, the track was started at point A and
continued around to it's current location, point B. The
Triton has added an imaginary line ( C ) to connect the start
and end points of the track. The Area and Perimeter are
then computed and displayed at the top of the screen.
To access area calculation, press ENTER while viewing the
Map screen. Scroll down the contextual menu and select "View Area Calculation".
Press ESC when you are done.
Pause and Resume Active Track. With this software update you can pause and then
resume recording your track.
From any navigational screen press ENTER. On the contextual menu, select "Start New
Track". This will initiate a new track beginning at your current location. As you move,
the Triton will record your track, following your "footsteps". When you want to pause the
recording of your track, press ENTER from any navigational screen. Select "Pause Track
Record". When you want to begin recording your track again, select ENTER again and
select "Resume Track Record". When you are ready to save the track to the Triton, press
ENTER again and select "Stop & Save Track". The track Info screen is displayed with
the option of assigning a name to the saved track ("Trail").
User Grid. (Advanced Users) You can set a user grid as the Coordinate System for your
Triton. When selecting User Grid, you will be presented with options to define the
parameters of the User Grid.
