FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How do I print a zoomed-in area?

A: Most images have a "Print Map" function at the top left of each image - this will print the entire region. Many times, however, it is desirable to have the ability to print a much smaller area. Here is how we do it;

Zoom in, zoom out, and position the image just the way you want it. Then click on the "Print Screen" key (prt sc) key located at the upper right of your keyboard. Nothing will visibly happen as the image is simply cached inside your computer. Minimize Realtime-Navigator and open up another program such as Paint, Excel, or, as I prefer, Microsoft Word.

Click Edit/Paste and the image will appear. You will need to switch the page orientation to landscape. Click on the image once, and handle bars will appear - drag a corner and the image will enlarge. Manipulate as needed and the print!

Q: How do I change my home port?

A: If you want to change the position of the bullseye, simply click on the NAME of any waypoint, and the bullseye will replace that icon. The Nav Toll (oval with big white box) always reads from the bullseye when displaying the distance and bearing.

We have recently upgraded the system so that the bullseye stays at the waypoint selected until you select a different waypoint. This way, when veiwing different imageries, it is no longer necessary to reset your homeport location each time.
