SiRF: This is the name of a popular GPS chipset manufacturer. Their specific

communication protocol can be processed by iGO. SiRF based GPS devices are

also capable of NMEA communication, the factory setting of communication protocol

in iGO.

Track log: In iGO you have the possibility to record your journeys using the position

data your GPS provides in every second or every few seconds (depending on your

GPS settings). When you start the recording, position data are saved in the database

until you stop recording it. This set of sequential GPS positions is called track log.

Each set of consecutive positions has a name (originally it is the time of recording

but you can change it to any name you like) and a colour in which it can be displayed

on the map. Later you can replay the journey on the screen of iGO as if it were

happening again. This is good for demonstration purposes or for analysing your

manoeuvres during the trip. See also Page .

Track-up: A kind of map orientation when the map is rotated to look always in the

direction of your heading. See also North-up and Map Orientation.

Via point: Routes in iGO can have several (as many as you want) different

destinations to reach in a specific order. All these points except the final destination

are called via points, as the route goes ‘via’ (through) them. The destinations can be

seen in the Route Information screen on the Route line (Page

), and each via point

is announced by the voice instructions as you approach and when you reach it.

Should your via point serve as a stopover, navigation continues automatically as you

depart. Navigation will resume even if you turn off and on your PDA or restart

iGO.

Zoom In and Out: The Zoom function is used to change the scale of the map. Use

Zoom In to scale down the map to see less of it but in more detail, and use Zoom

Out to scale the map up to have a broader view of that part of the map with fewer

details. See also Page and Page
