The purpose of this program is to find your way on a predefined route
and to store the times of each single track point (TP).
Before you use it in this way, you have to edit a route on your mobile phone. A route exits of a some TPs. It is easy to manage. You need only two informations for each TP:
the distance from the start point and optionally a description. This description could be the name of the place and an information, where to go from this point. At the end you name your route. You can store different routes with this program.
When you starts the route, all you need is to load your predefined route and to start the watch (Key <1>).
At every reached TP you have to sycronize your watch by pressing a key (Key <0>).
The watch calculates the speed between two TPs and with this information, it will display the time and distance until you reach the next TP. This will help you finding your next TP.
This precalculation will only work fine if your speed is at the same level as of the last syncronizing.
Optionally the program can put a tone signal, when it thinks that the next TP is reached.
If you have sycronized a TP, automatically after a few seconds the next TP is displayed.
At the end of the route you have all time data and the program also calculates the average speed at each TP.
