Knowing
which icons will display what data is the deciding factor
on what information is displayed based on the stored data
from your tracking unit. This easy to follow guide will
help you better understand the icons and options that
are offered to you on this software.
Displayed above is our basic toolbar. This toolbar becomes
completely accessible when you have tracking data displayed
and are using Streets and Maps (U.S. only) to view your
information. You will notice that all the icons are available
for use and are not ghosted out. Please note: A written
label will display above the start menu when you place
your mouse on any of the toolbar icons.
As you can see this toolbar has been numbered. There is
a different icon for each number and their set. We will
of course start with number 1.
Icon 1 is a basic ‘Open File’
icon. You will select this icon when you want to find
a file that has previously been saved after a download.
When going to view information from a saved file, select
this icon and it will bring you directly to the default
save folder.
Icon 2 is the ‘Download’
icon. You will select this icon for your download station
which allows you four options. You will have the option
to “Find Port,” “Download,” “Erase
Unit,” or “Exit.” Find Port lets you
find the device. Download allows you to transfer the information
onto your computer. Erase Unit allows you to clear your
device from any data, and Exit simply closes the prompt.
Icon 3 is the “Google Earth”
icon. When you select this icon, it will convert your
GPS tracking information into a viewable format on Google
Earth. It will allow you access to the free roam mapping
that Google Earth offers.
Icon 4 is the “Activity Report”
icon. This icon will allow you to view your tracking information
in a written text version. It will give you details such
as location arrived, departure and arrival times, stop
durations, and total driving times, as well as the top
speed.
Icon 5 is the “Area” icon.
You will select this only when you want to choose which
area of the United States map you want to look at. Areas
include Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, Southwest, C-North
(Central North), and C-South (Central South).
Icon 6 is the “Navigate”
icon. You can use this icon when the device is connected
to a mobile computer source and track the current position
that you are driving. This icon is useful when locating
where you are in relation to other roads, stops, or towns.
(Not available for Mini Tracker MT4100.)
Icon 7 is the “Save” icon.
This icon, when activated, will allow you to save the
data that you are viewing to a default save location.
You may change this save location as long as it is within
the My Documents folder.
Icon 8 is the “Print” icon.
You will be able to print the map that you are looking
at as well as the tracking information displayed on it.
As soon as you select this icon, a command will be sent
to print.
Icons 9A-E are your Play by Play Options.
- A is the “Play” icon.
This icon, when activated, will start the small car
on the screen to move. It will follow along the path
that was set by the information downloaded from your
tracker.
- B is the “Pause/Step”
icon. This icon, when activated, will pause the progress
of the play by play and will also allow you (once
pressed again) to move on to the next step on the
play by play.
- C is the “Slower” icon,
not the rewind icon. This icon when activated will
slow the speed of the play by play in half. This will
happen every time it is pressed. If you press it twice,
it is now four times slower than it was originally.
- D is the “Faster” icon,
also known as Fast Forward. This icon, when activated,
will double the speed of the play by play. This will
happen every time it is pressed. If you press it twice,
it is now four times faster than it was originally.
- E is the “Reset” icon.
This icon, when activated, will reset the play by
play to the starting position and allow it to play
form the beginning.
Icons 10A-G are your Map Viewing Options.
- A is the “Zoom All Out”
icon. This allows you to view the map
in its entirety. It will zoom out of any position
to fix on a view of the entire map.
- B is the “Zoom In” icon.
This allows you to zoom in to the map for closer viewing.
- C is the “Zoom Out” icon.
This allows you zoom out of the map for farther viewing.
- D-G are the “Pan…”
icons. They allow you to pan the map
in one of four cardinal directions. The arrow facing
left allows you to pan West, the arrow facing right
allows you to pan East. The arrow facing up North,
and the arrow facing down South.
Icon 11 is the “Time Stamp” icon.
This icon will allow you to view all major stopping points
that were recorded and the time for each.
Icon 12 is the “Interval”
icon. This icon will allow you to view how much time
has passed between two points. Simply click this icon
when you want to see how much time has passed between
the designated start and stop points.
Icon 13 is the “Stops”
icon. Not to be confused with the Time Stamp icon, this
icon allows you to view what the Beginning and END (not
stop) positions are, as well as what time and date those
positions were taken.
Icon 14 is the “Distance”
icon. This icon allows you to view the distance covered,
duration, and average speed of the trip as well as the
date and time of the end position.
