Waypoints

Waypoints can be shown on maps as orientation markers but also act as a source for route points in competitions. The waypoints can be entered, listed or modified on this page.

The page is split: on the left side all - unless a text filter has been specified - waypoints inside the database are listed. If no waypoint is selected on the left side, all files that can be potentially used for the import of waypoints are shown on the right side. If a waypoint is selected, the waypoint's details are listed on the right side.

To modify the data of an existing waypoint select a waypoint and touch edit. To add manually a waypoint touch at any time the "plus"-sign; a waypoint initialized with default data appears on the right hand side.

The geographic data can be entered manually or - if you are at the to be entered waypoint - the iPad or iPhone can use its current location to enter the data automatically. In the later case the button "take over" has to be touched.

Remark: If the location or the altitude cannot immediately be determined, press the button "take over" a couple of times.

An alternative to entering a waypoint is to downloaded it from SkyView by touching the synchronization button in the toolbar. This opens the SkyView-popover. By touching the green button a connection to the SkyView server is established and the stored waypoints are downloaded.

You can share your waypoints with everybody by uploading ("save on server") the waypoints to SkyView! To do so you first have to register yourself at SkyView by touching the preferences button in the page's toolbar.

Another possibility of entering waypoints is to copy CUP or GPX files into SkyLoggerXXL's document folder. Afterwards these files show up on the right side of this page when no waypoint is selected. Select the files from which you want to import and touch the import button.
