This page allows creating new routes, modifying existing ones or importing/exporting them from/to the palm unit.

The list on the upper half of the page shows the existing routes. By selecting one with the palm stylus, the waypoints composing the route are shown in the list at the bottom of the page.

To choose a route and setup a task, press the Setup task button.

When a task is active, this page is replaced by a different one displaying the details of the route that is being followed:

For further details on this page, see: Setting up a task.

The import drop-down list allows you to import in CompetitionPilot route files (in CompeGPS .rte format) from a memory card if one is present in the palm expansion slot.

Touching import with the palm stylus, the list of available route files is displayed.

Route files can be transferred on the card by copying them directly from your PC onto it. They can also be copied on the card during an hotsync operation if the card is present in the palm expansion slot.

Warning: route files must be copied in the "PALM/CPilot/Routes" folder or CompetitionPilot will not be able to import them.

When selected, CompetitionPilot uses the altitude data coded in the waypoint name. Otherwise, it uses the altitude data contained in the waypoint data. Waypoint names following the standard name coding start with a letter (that normally identify the flight area), followed by a two-digit number that labels the waypoint and ends with a three-digit number that indicates the waypoint altitude in tens of meters. "M06082", for example, is the name of the waypoint number 06. Its height is 820 m.

The altitude data is not always contained in the waypoint internal data. If the names are in the standard format, it is safer to select this option.

The task-setup page is shown when you press this buttn.

This menu is specific of the route page.

It allows you to create, modify, esport or delete routes. Using the Garmin protocol, you can also import the routes from your GPS (tested only on Foretrex 201 and 101 models).

Permette di creare una nuova rotta. Selezionando questo comando, appare una finestra che permette di dare il nome alla nuova rotta:

After you confirm by pressing the "OK" button, CompetitionPilot opens the route editing page allowing you to add waypoints to the newly created route. When you exit the editing page, the new route will be shown in the route list.

CompetitionPilot opens the route editing page allowing you to modify the selected route by adding, removing or sorting the waypoints.

This command starts the route download from the GPS. It can be used only if the Garmin protocol is selected in the program options page and the GPS supports this protocol. At present, CompetitionPilot implements the Garmin protocol only partially and may not work on several models. It was tested on the Foretrex 101 and 201 models.

The selected route is transferred to the export page, that will allow you to save the route on a memory card in CompeGPS .rte format or to send it to a receiving unit via BlueTooth, infrared or serial connection.

When you want to change a route name, this is the command to use.

CompetitionPilot deletes the selected route, after asking for confirmation.

All the waypoints and routes are removed from the memory. CompetitionPilot asks for confirmation before proceding.
