Tolerance can be changed at any time in the playlist. For example, you might want to
tighten tolerance for a trigger that occurs while the vehicle is moving slower (or
stopped), and need to open it up for when the vehicle is traveling faster. When setting
the tolerance, just keep in mind that GPS coordinates are only updated once per
second. This update must happen at least once inside the zone for the GPS trigger to
occur.
Comments
Both the Approx Location and Comments field are solely for the purpose of describing
the location and function of each GPS point. They are not used by the DVMHD.
Map Display
If an Internet connection is present, you can view the location of your GPS point on a
map. Click on the map tab at the bottom of your screen. Select the GPS point you
wish to view on the map my clicking its row in the spreadsheet. Once you click on the
“Update Map” button located at the top of the screen, you should see a red circle
indicating the exact location of the selected point.
Aside from displaying coordinated, the Map Display is also useful for entering
coordinates. If you click a specific location on the map, the Latitude and Longitude of
that location will appear below the map. These coordinates can then be copied and
pasted into the spreadsheet.
