How to Display the Position of the Tracker
How to Display the Position of the Tracker
The position of the tracker can be displayed, in real time, on a map. There are different methods to identify
this position:
by scanning a map and following georeference.•
by VirtualEarth or GoogleMaps (if internet connection is available).•
by Navigator map software (option).•
by connection with other map software (i.e. AutoRoute™, ROUTE 66•
®
, …).
by the coordinates (latitude, longitude) of the tracker, inserted in the appropriate web sites (e.g. •
MapQuest
®
).
Georeference
This function allows to assign the correct coordinates to a map, after having it digitalized.
Furthermore, it gives the possibility to use local maps, more detailed or specialized, for specifi c use.
The two operations to perform are:
scan the image or the photo of a map to obtain a digital format•
set three reference points on the digital image•
As for the Navigator maps (optional), an internet connection is not required.
To perform georeferencing, proceed as follows:
Scan the image or photo of a map and save it on the PC in .TIFF, .GIF, .BMP, or .JPG format.1.
Select 2. Georeference from the Tools menu.
The Georeference window will be displayed (refer to the chapter 3. MyTrack Software Structure, paragraph
Drop Down Menu).
Load the previously digitalized image.4.
Select a reference point, left-clicking the mouse on the displayed image.5.
After selecting the fi rst reference point, the corresponding coordinates will be highlighted.6.
15
How to Display the Position of the Tracker
In the highlighted fi elds, manually set the coordinates of the point of reference selected on the map.7.
Repeat points 5, 6 and 7 to set the other two reference points.8.
After the three reference points setup, georeference the image with the 9. Georeference key.
If the Shapemap mode is in use, all the georeferenced images are listed in the Layers fi eld on the Software
Setup window (refer to the chapter MyTrack Software Structure, paragraph Drop Down Menu).
NOTE: It is suggested to set as reference points areas easily identifi ed (road crossings, …) or
well-known places. It is better to selected points near the external edges of the map to obtain
suffi cient accuracy.
NOTE: Use the shortcut Ctrl+G everytime the degree symbol (°) must be inserted in the
coordinates fi elds.
The tracker position accuracy, in the georeferenced image, depends on:
accuracy of the scanner image.•
position of the three reference points set on the image: the closer are the three points to the edges of the •
image, the higher is the accuracy (level).
accuracy with which the coordinates of the three reference points are set on the actual map.•
VirtualEarth and GoogleMaps
It is possible to display the position of the tracker on VirtualEarth maps or GoogleMaps.
For this function, a fast internet connection (e.g. ADSL) is necessary.
To choose the type of map to display, proceed as follows:
Select Settings from the Tools menu (refer to the chapter 1. MyTrack Software Structure, paragraph Drop
Down Menu).
The 2. Software Setup window will appear. Select the Map Tracking tab.
In the 3. Maps fi eld, select VirtualEarth or GoogleMaps.
The selected map type will be displayed on the window.4.
16
How to Display the Position of the Tracker
Navigator Software (option)
The maps integrated by the Navigator software allow to display fast and easy the tracker on the map, without
need of an internet connection or to perform virtual connecting procedures. Furthermore, other included functions
(Search POI, Routing) are particularly useful in many occasions.
This map software allows to display detailed maps of the following countries:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, Lichtenstein,
Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, San Marino, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican.
The maps of each country can be enabled or disabled. For best process speed, the enabling of only the
interested countries is recommended.
To display the Navigator software maps, proceed as follows:
Select 1. Settings from the Tools menu (refer to the chapter MyTrack Software Structure, paragraph Drop
Down Menu).
Select 2. Map Tracking tab.
In the 3. Maps fi eld, select Navigator and confi rm with OK key.
To enable or disable the countries included in the maps, repeat points 2 and 3.4.
In the 5. Countries fi eld, enable or disable the countries by left-clicking the mouse.
Confi rm with 6. OK key.
To display further information about this map software, refer to the assistance (Help) provided by the Navigator
software.
Connection with other Map Software
It is possible to display the position of the tracker by virtual connection with other map software (i.e.
AutoRoute™, ROUTE 66
®
, ...).
17
How to Display the Position of the Tracker
To display the position of the tracker on another map software, proceed as follows:
In MyTrack, select 1. Settings from theTools menu (refer to the chapter MyTrack Software Structure, paragraph
Drop Down Menu).
Select the 2. Map Tracking tab.
In the 3. NMEA Output fi eld, enable the function, select the virtual port’s communication speed (set the same
speed for the map software intended for use) and confi rm with the OK key.
Run the map software (i.e. AutoRoute™, ROUTE 664.
®
, ...).
To display in real time the device position connect the tracker in remote or local mode, otherwise to review 5.
a GPS data recording of the device open the desired fi le and press the
key.
On the programming window of the map software, set the communication parameters for incoming GPS 6.
data, being careful to select the same virtual port indicated by MyTrack (refer to the user’s manual of the
chosen software).
If all settings have been carried out properly and the map software receives GPS data, the tracker position 7.
is displayed on the map of the additional software.
How to Display the Position using Coordinates
Through map or navigation web sites (i.e. MapQuest
®
), it is possible to locate the tracker position simply by
using the latitude and longitude data contained in the SMS message received continuously or on request. An
internet connection is necessary for this function.
To represent the coordinates on a map, perform the following procedure:
Run the internet browser.1.
Access the desired navigation web site (i.e. www.mapquest.com).2.
Insert the latitude and longitude coordinates in the relevant fi elds.3.
Confi rm the values.4.
The position of the tracker will be indicated on a map.5.
