OUTBACK NAVIGATION INFORMATION SYSTEM
OUTBACK NAVIGATION INFORMATION SYSTEM
The Outback Navigation Information System (ONIS) uses the OziExplorer Waypoint functionality.
Waypoints can be loaded or unloaded using the menu buttons on page 2
The ONIS also incorporates two modes of Waypoint creation:
USER MODE.
The user can easily import pre-existing Waypoints.
The user mode also provides an ONIS tool for users to easily add temporary Waypoints.
All user imported or created Waypoints will be deleted once the navigation app is closed and the default owner Waypoint set will then be loaded at the next App startup.
A good example of where this feature could be used is a first responder provided with coordinates for a person in need of assistance where roads are not available in typical street type navigation apps.
Some users may require the ability to save their Waypoints or load pre-configured Waypoint data sets and this can be performed by the user, however this function is password protected by the owner.
OWNER MODE.
The owner mode provides an ONIS tool for the owner configure and then save Waypoints with owner defined coordinates, colours and names.
The owner has the ability to import and/or export Waypoints for deployment to the ONIS fleet.
The ONIS tools are easy to understand and use, however Waypoint management in general can be complex and we recommend some training in this area to ensure a robust implementation.
Note: The maximum Waypoints that can be loaded is limited to 100,000
Waypoints can be easily imported or deleted.
Note:
In user mode, the default Waypoint data set will be restored.
The Waypoint list page allows the user to view approximately 20 of the nearest Waypoints.
The nearest Waypoint will be at the top of the screen.
The information includes distance to the Waypoint, bearing and name.
The Waypoint legend page provides the user with a graphical and description of the Waypoints used in the ONIS.
Users can easily add a temporary Waypoint at any position on the map.
The user can load or unload existing saved Waypoints from the ONIS default folder.
NOTE:
All user loaded Waypoints will be unloaded when the navigation app closes.
The user can load pre-configured Waypoint files.
1. USER_WAYPOINTS
This is the folder where the default owner Waypoints are located.
2. WWW_DOWNLOADED_WAYPOINTS
This is the folder where the selected WWW downloaded Waypoints are located.
The user can view the Waypoints on the map.
Waypoints can be configured from a selection of colors and have the same name or a dedicated name.
Users can easily add a temporary Waypoint at the current location, and if required and stationary, edit the coordinates to add the Waypoint at a different location.
NOTE:
1. All user added Waypoints are temporary
2. Waypoint display icons can not be changed and use the default ONIS light blue colour
3. The Waypoint name will be saved as HHMM
eg. if a Waypoint is created at 13:01 PM, then the Waypoint name on the map will be 1301.
Users can save their Waypoints as "permanent" however the user will be prompted for a password.
Users can easily add a temporary Waypoint at the current location whilst travelling,
NOTE:
1. All user added Waypoints are temporary
2. Waypoint display icons can not be changed and use the default ONIS light blue colour
3. The Waypoint name will be saved as HHMM
eg. if a Waypoint is created at 13:01 PM, then the Waypoint name on the map will be 1301
4. The location edit options are removed if the vehicle is moving
5. Users, must NOT perform any ONIS functions whilst the vehicle is in motion if it distracts from their ability to control the vehicle in a safe manner.
Waypoints added by the "User Waypoint Tool" will be displayed in light blue with the creation time in HHMM.
Eg, in the above example, the Waypoint 1301 was created at 1301 PM.
THIS FUNCTION MUST ONLY BE USED WHILST THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.
Users can easily add a temporary Waypoint at any position on the map.
1. Turn off the GPS receiver (top left).
2. Drag the map to the desired location so that the center "Cross Hair Circle" is on the desired location.
THIS FUNCTION MUST ONLY BE USED WHILST THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.
3. Press on the "Cross Hair Circle".
A Waypoint (yellow) will added with the current name of WPx where x will start at 0 and increment up for every Waypoint added.
4. Turn the GPS receiver back on.
THIS FUNCTION MUST ONLY BE USED WHILST THE VEHICLE IS PARKED.
4. Turn the GPS receiver back on.
Waypoints created using this method will displayed as WP0 and increment every time a new Waypoint is added.
