7.2.3 Waypoints

The i50 can store up to 200 circular waypoints in non-volatile memory. There are two kinds of

waypoints: standard and RF zone.

Standard waypoints are used to generate alerts whenever the unit enters or leaves these areas.

Each standard waypoint can also be configured so that position reports are disabled while the unit is

at that location.

RF zone waypoints are used when the i50 has WAN mode enabled under Kenwood radio settings. In

WAN mode, the unit will automatically select the radio zone and channel based on the closest RF

zone.

The i50 Programmer has a Waypoints tab where the data can be retrieved from and sent to the

device, or loaded from /saved to disk.

ID: Waypoint ID (1-8191) that will be displayed in the alert message.

Lat/long: Position at centre of waypoint.

Inner Radius: Device must enter this area to trigger an enter event.

Outer Radius: Device must leave this area to trigger an exit event. Setting this value larger

than the inner radius will reduce the number of false events received when a

unit spends time near the edge of a waypoint.

Zone: Radio zone to be selected when i50 is inside the RF zone.

Channel: Radio channel for this zone.

Range: The i50 will only use this zone if it is within the range specified. If it is outside

all zones it will stop sending data.

Note: when position reports are disabled due to a waypoint setting, the i50 will also disable its

periodic wakeup reports. It will continue to wake up periodically to confirm whether it is still inside the

waypoint, but will not transmit.
