CHARACTER MAP that is a WINDOWS accessory. Be sure to use SYSTEM as the font for this function. Do not use

the characters from 0 to 32, as they are reserved for commands instead of characters. To put labels on the MAP, you

leave the RATING field blank and put the labels you want in the DESCRIPTION field. One features file should

suffice for all your MAPs, but you can have as many as you like. The features are displayed on the MAP with the upper

left-hand corner at the point determined by its’ Lat/Lon. This may place it over a similar waypoint in the waypoint file.

5.11 Track File (Add Tracks)

Tracks are linked points that show the trail of your travels like cookie crumbs. This command will display a list of saved

TRACK files for you to choose from. The TRACK file chosen will be put on all charts from then on. To disable or

remove TRACKS, choose REMOVE. A track file has the extension .DBT.

A TRACK file has only three fields (Latitude, Longitude, and Rating (containing the word: STRT) and can alternatively

be opened and displayed on the spreadsheet for editing if desired. You can make a track file out of any waypoint file if

desired by File>Save-File-As and setting Save as Type to Track file. For example, you can make a file of a day’s

fishing (possibly from your sonar log) and then save that as a track file. That will allow you to plot a line between the

points you visited in the order you visited them. Another use is to outline restricted areas like the Oculina Bank. One

more point is needed than the number of corners in the figure. For example, a square needs 5 points, as the stop point is

the same as the start point. Setting the start of a line by typing STRT in the Rating field delineates multiple tracks.

Therefore, you can use the TRACKS capability to put various line drawings on the graphical display by creating pseudo

Track files.

5.12 Route File (Add Routes)

Routes are linked points that are created from waypoints or imported from a GPS. This command will display a list of

saved files for you to choose from. The ROUTE file chosen will be put on all charts from then on. To disable or remove

ROUTES, choose REMOVE. A Route file has the extension .DBF, the same as a waypoints file. You can easily make

routes by using the Trip Planner to select existing waypoints as points in the route

You can make a Route file out of any waypoint file if desired by inserting the word "STRT" in the rating column at the

start of each route segment. This breaks the line at this point.

5.13 Track Plotting

Introduction

This feature uses your GPS to supply your present position to the program for track plotting. It uses the NMEA-183

serial interface that is available with most GPS receivers and connects to the computer with a cable that you supply.

Check your equipment manual for the proper connections. The cable should be connected to a COM port on your PC.

This is often complicated by lack of a serial (COM) port on the PC necessitating a USB to serial converter. Track

Plotting is like your Chart Plotter displays, but with the features this program offers.

Choosing TRACK PLOTTING opens the Track Plotting control panel.
