How Do I Use It?

Track Logs

Max. Size

You can set the maximum database size for the

automatically saved track logs. When the limit is

reached, the oldest automatically saved track logs will

be deleted.

Create NMEA/

SIRF Log

Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct

TRAX350 to record the native GPS data received from

the GPS device. These logs are saved as separate text

files on the internal Flash ROM, and they cannot be

shown or replayed in TRAX350.

2D/3D GPS reception

The GPS receiver uses satellite signals to calculate its (your) position and

need at least four signals to give a three-dimensional position, including

elevation. Because the satellites are moving and because objects can

block the signals, your GPS device might not receive four signals. If three

satellites are available, the receiver can calculate the horizontal GPS

position but the accuracy is lower and the GPS device does not give you

elevation data: only 2D reception is possible.
Active route

The currently navigated route. You can save and load routes in TRAX350,

but only one route can be active at any given time, and it is always active

until you delete it, reach your destination or you quit TRAX350. See also:

Route.
City Centre

The City Centre is not the geometric centre of the settlement but an

arbitrary point the map creators have chosen. In towns and villages, it is

usually the most important intersection; in larger cities, it is an important

intersection.
GPS accuracy

Several factors have impact on the deviation between your real position

and the one given by the GPS device. For example, signal delay in the

ionosphere or reflecting objects near the GPS device have a different

and varying impact on how accurately the GPS device can calculate your

position.
