III USING THE PROGRAM

1. Introduction

You will mainly use the program to create and maintain a book of waypoints (readings) containing your marine fishing

navigation information. It comes with examples of the files you will set up for your book. This chapter gives

information on how you can start your own files and work with them. Additionally, it can help you manage the

waypoints in your GPS and/or move them from one brand to another.

2. Learning to Use the Program

In order to do anything useful with the program you must first create a new file, open an existing data file, or

import data from another document (or from a GPS). The files: TEST_File.DBF and TEST.MAP are available to

help you learn and become familiar with the features of the program. The program is set to open the test file when you

initially start up. If no file is displayed, select FILE>OPEN FILE and then choose TEST_File.DBF. Once the file is

open, the program will initially display the test file with its bogus waypoints in the spreadsheet mode. This quick tour

will show you many of the features of the program.

1. Scroll through the file and try editing some of the waypoints and try other program functions such

as EDIT>Add Waypoints. Add waypoints in the vicinity of the ones in the file.

2. Double click on the spreadsheet column header where it says LON to sort by longitude.

3. Select DISPLAY>Display on Chart. This will create a simple chart of the waypoints

4. Select CHART OPERATIONS>Zoom>2X. Then push the up arrow to pan the display.

5. Select CHART OPERATIONS>Select Area. Then position the cursor on the corner of an area

of interest and depress the mouse button. Hold down the left mouse button while dragging open a

band encircling the points of interest. When you release the mouse button, it will zoom and pan

the display to show you the area inside the rectangle, filling the screen.

6. Choose File>Printing Format. Push Preview to see how it might look when printed. Try

changing something on Printing Format and look at the preview again.

7. Return to the spreadsheet display by clicking Display>Display User Style. Try double

clicking on the column header for each column to see it sort the data.

8. Select Display on NOAA chart and pick the test NOAA chart to show the Test file on.

9. Try Chart Operations>Center chart on waypoint #? And pick waypoint 10. This will pan

the chart to center on that waypoint.
