How Do I Use It?

Independently of the normal track log, you can instruct TRAX436 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 TRAX436.

To turn on NMEA/SIRF log saving, tap the following buttons:

Route demonstration

A simulation drives you through the route, following the driving instructions

(page 64). You can choose from a simulation at high speed or at normal

driving speed.
You can use it, for example, to see which bridge TRAX436 planned for the

route; if you do not want to take that bridge, you can avoid it.
Route demonstrations can be started from the Route menu by tapping the

(high speed simulation) or the

(simulation at

normal speed) button.

POI (Points of Interest)

A point of interest (POI) is a location that someone might find useful or

interesting. TRAX436 is delivered with thousands of POIs and you can

also create your own POIs in the application.
POI locations are marked on the map with special icons. POI icons are

quite large so you can easily recognise the symbol. The icons are also

semi-transparent: they do not cover the streets and intersections behind

them.
POIs are grouped into several levels of categories and subcategories.

The icon of a POI that comes with the map shows the symbol of the

POI category. If you save your own POI, you can select an icon for it
independently of the POI category you have put it in.
