Trip E Waypoint Manager Download

If you can't enable and disable collections on the 66i itself... then what is the collections manager for, and why does each collection have a toggle? I have the same question as the OP.... toggling collections seemingly does nothing at all. I can only assume it's a bug...
I might add, that on the 66i... contrary to what it says in the above link to the Montana device, disabling collections does not remove them from the respective menus... Waypoints, routes etc. So the toggles really and truly do nothing at all, as far as I see. And the 66i instructions don't seem to even mention the collections manager.
Test for yourself with a new collection with only a single waypoint, track or route to see that it works as advertised, then carefully examine each of your current collections in explore to determine why all data is always visible for each collection.
Doesn't work for me. I have various collections... trig points... waterfalls, weirs, huts... all with different icons. If I toggle collections on in collections manager, they are all visible (as you would expect). If I toggle them all off, they are all still visible. If I toggle one on, and the rest off, they are ALL visible. If I go into 66i waypoints, and delete all waypoints, they disappear (as you would expect), when I sync them again in Explore app they reappear (as you would expect), but toggling them off in collections manager has no effect. If I create a single way point in its own collection and sync that... then toggle off that collection in collections manager, it does NOT disappear. This is with a brand new 66i that I upgraded to 8,80 firmware, and latest Expore app 3.0 Android. And a new explore.garmin.com account.
I tried renaming Garmin/SQL and Garmin/EDM as you suggested in another thread and rebooting. When I did that, all the wayponits disappeared. I resynced the device, and all the waypoints appeared again. As before, toggling any or all of them off in collections manager had no effect, they remained there.
I might add, as I mentioned in another thread, that when I mapshare my map to other people, all my waypoints... even the ones in collections that I did NOT share, are visible to them. The collections themselves do not appear in the list of collections that they can see, but the icons/waypoints within the collections that they are not supposed to be able to see, are visible to them. In fact, the collections I have shared with the "M" in explore.garmin.com have no waypoints at all, and the "Unorganised" collection, also has no waypoints. So it's hard to imagine what makes explore think it is appropriate to show these waypoints to shared users. So the mapshare page has 3 collections visible, the "Sent to Mapshare" collection, and two others that I deliberately shared. All 3 collections have zero waypoints next to the little flag. Despite that, under "Library" it lists 126 waypoints. It's probably an unrelated bug... but then again, when two Garmin products can't seem to stop showing all waypoints, you've got to wonder if they are related.
This app is not using Bush trip mode at all. From sim point of view is free flight mode. You have complete freedom how you want to fly it but you have flight plan for your legs and app will track your progress and show waypoint hints.
@Miles Teg has provided some custom waypoint files! To use them, copy the to GameData/WaypointManager/CustomWaypoints.cfg (I'll have to add a proper file dialog in a future version) and hit the "Import Custom Waypoints" button. Included are files for the various KSC biomes and for marking off the runway and helipads.
Awesome, I can't wait to check it out! Make sure you grab the 1.0.3 release that I just uploaded - it fixes an annoying culling issue that causes waypoints that are supposed to be behind the camera to be drawn.
Oh and any feedback on the waypoint draw distance would be appreciated. It's currently based on speed - if you're going very fast (ie. in orbit), it will show faraway waypoints. If you're going slow (driving on the surface or stopped), it'll only show waypoints within 25km. Right now that's not tweakable, but I'll probably expose it via a config file at some point.
Great suggestion, was going to throw that in since I thought it should be super easy.... but I can't seem to find a way to get which waypoint is active!! That might be a private method. I'll have to do some more digging.
I was doing a RSS flight to Hawaii from the KSC in Florida and I kept having to adjust my course because I didn't know exactly where to point my plane. I was literally thinking, "I wish there was a mod that allowed me to set waypoints or destinations......"
I am currently working on bing map's directions manager. I am creating a trip/route by adding few waypoints. After getting a result from the directionsManager, if i drag and drop a waypoint(marker on the map), I am facing an inconsistency issue with bing map's direction manager. I do not get the address of the waypoint back from the directionsManager.getAllWaypoints().
Issue: i do not get the address after drag and drop always (I do get it most of the times but there are instances wheen i dont get it as well); however i do get the lat long of that wypoint. I am checking for the updated address in the event handler 'directionsUpdated', using directionsManager.getAllwaypoints(). i have tried event 'dragDropCompleted' that also doesn't help.
So you've done it - got inspired, planned your trip, packed your stuff and you're on the road! This section is about staying healthy, happy and secure on your motorcycle adventure. And crossing borders, war zones or oceans!

Trip Management is a basic need for any fleet-centric business that allows managers to plan dispatch, waypoints, and resource use in every trip undertaken by the vehicles. Trip management software allows fleet managers to manage all trips and each aspect of those trips from a single platform.
In terms of fleet management, trip management allows managers to keep track of vehicles on the road. This allows them to manage consignments and the entire supply chain in a much more effective manner.
The eTrex 32x is a powerful backcountry navigation device. You can get navigation instructions on the fly, routed by the device, or you can preplan your trip, load it on the eTrex, and make sure you're following the path your planned. I'll show you some of the more important screens for navigation and then walk you through some real-world examples of using the device.
You record your trip and track on the "trip computer" screen. When you want to start a new trip, you reset it, and then go. The trip computer will continue to record your track while the GPS is awake or in "battery saver" (screen off) mode.
If you mark a waypoint you can customize things like the name and even tweak its position. You can also scroll around the map page with the cursor, press in the joystick, and create a waypoint from there.
The eTrex map also comes with thousands of waypoints that are called "points of interest" or POIs. POIs include things like public buildings, restaurants, geographic features, and towns. You can navigate to any of these just as you could a waypoint. It's important to update your device (more later) so that the maps and POIs are up to date.
You can think of routes as a direction from point A to B, just like when you use something like Google Maps. The eTrex can take a waypoint or POI, or a series of them, and dynamically calculate a route between them all. The route can be straight lines, but it can also be on trails and roads (you choose on the device).
Once you are following a route, the eTrex will give you a bearing, ETA, and distance to the next point on the route. If you come to a junction or waypoint on the route, the eTrex will wake and give you a little alarm.
While routing is cool to have in a pinch, the reality is that I pre-plan most of my hikes and don't need to create a trip on the fly using a device. So for me, routes are a "nice to have" in case my plans change and I quickly need to get to civilization or a hospital.
You can think of tracks like a series of breadcrumbs that you follow. On the eTrex, when you are moving, the Trip Computer is creating a track of your movement which you can save for later. You can also load other tracks onto the device and follow them. The eTrex has a screen called "track manager" that lists them all out. Just select one, navigate it, and you'll get a nice purple line overlaid on the map. The idea is simple; just stay on the purple line. If you are in doubt at an intersection, just consult the purple line and map. For me this type of navigation "second opinion" is more enjoyable than a turn-by-turn notification.
The ReefMaster Waypoint Manager/Sonar Viewer for Lowrance is a Windows application designed specifically to work with data from Lowrance sonar units.
This easy-to-use program includes waypoint, trail and route management along with a multi-channel sonar viewer. Previously tedious tasks, such as updating waypoint icons or labels, or removing duplicate waypoints, can be completed in seconds with a minimum of effort.
