Below you will find a list of improvements of the main version of our software 'TwoNav'. In order to purchase or upgrade to this version you only need to get access to the 'TwoNav' section of our website. Most notable changes and improvements are divided into the following agrupations:

GENERAL NEW FEATURES TRACKS NEW FEATURES MAPS NEW FEATURES WAYPOINTS NEW FEATURES	ROADBOOKS NEW FEATURES MINOR CHANGES SOLVED BUGS

 

GENERAL NEW FEATURES

 

TripLog: Record / Pause / Stop track recording

New tool to control all track data ('trip computer') and points of track recording ('tracklog') at the same time.
Data fields and recorded tracks are synchronized, so if you pause the Triplog, you pause both counters (chronometer, distance, mean speed...) and track recording. At 'Main Menu > Status > Track' the user is able to control trip commands (TripLog):

Record Pause Stop

Access to triplog from:

Status window Context menu at 'Chronometer' data field Adding 'Pause' command at the toolbar

Note: When starting new navigation or changing mode, the user is asked to re-start triplog.



A new security system has been added to avoid losing tracks if you forget to start Triplog. If 'Save discarded tracklog in trash' ('Main Menu > Settings > System > Advanced') is enabled, when 'pause' or 'stop' buttons are pressed, the following movements of the user are automatically recorded as backup track copy inside 'TwoNavData/Data/Tracklog/Trash' folder.
 

 

Waypoints and Tracks: Show more information on the list of elements

 

TwoNav allows the possibility to present on waypoints and tracks lists extra information related to these elements such as date, distance, height, relative bearing arrow, track color,... The information is presented in a 2nd line right after the name of the item and it can be customized showing multi-selectable data fields ('Contextual menu of the item > 2nd line data').

 

Note: The data contained in the 2nd line is only available for tracks and waypoints which have been saved using TwoNav 2.5 or Land/Air 7.3 (or higher).

 

Calory count tools data fields

Partial energy: Odometer energy (partial) Total energy: Odometer energy (total) Current power Mean power   Maximum power

Sportiva+: New features at section 'Effort'

 

From 'Main Menu > Settings > Navigation > Effort' the user is able to set:

Resting Heart Rate: It has to be set in order to calculate the % of Heart Rate Reserve.   Set maximum Heart Rate manually: If enabled, set the maximum Heart Rate beat in the following field. If not enabled, maximum Heart Rate is calculated using Tanaka's formula.

 

Specific calory data fields for Sportiva+:

%HRR: Heart Rate Reserve. HRZone (%Max.): Predefined heart rate intensity zones. HRZone (%Max-Rest): Predefined heart rate intensity zones (Cardiac frequency in reserve). Zone 5 (90%-100% Maximum Cardiac Frequency): High-intensity athlete Zone 4 (80%-90% Maximum Cardiac Frequency): High-level athlete Zone 3 (70%-80% Maximum Cardiac Frequency): Aerobic capacity Zone 2 (60%-70% Maximum Cardiac Frequency): General Population Zone 1 (50%-60% Maximum Cardiac Frequency): Totally untrained

Note: In order to get access to these data fields easily, it is highly recommended to add them to any of the current data pages from ‘Main Menu > Settings > Display > Data fields’.





New data field: City

City: Exact location where you are at the moment (Vectorial map required).

New data fields: GPS precision

VDOP: Vertical Dilution Of Precision (estimated current vertical accuracy of the GPS). PDOP: Position Dilution Of Precision (estimated current position accuracy of the GPS).

Note: In order to get access to these data fields easily, it is highly recommended to add them to any of the current data pages from ‘Main Menu > Settings > Display > Data fields’.

 

Activate/Deactivate the automatic screen shutdown when GPS device is plugged

If 'Don't shutdown if plugged' is enabled , shutdown screen time is not applied, leaving the GPS with the screen on during all the trip ('Main Menu > Settings > System > Autonomy').

 

 

Configurable calculation of estimated time

From 'Estimated times' ('Main Menu > Settings > Navigation') the user is able to configure the preferences to calculate the estimated time of destination arrival:

Use V-Map route speed: Only for On-Road mode taking into consideration speed route.   Use navigated track time: Only for Off-Road mode taking into consideration track time.   Interval for Partial Mean Speed: Takes into consideration the partial mean speed of the selected interval of time.

 

Note: If no 'routing speed' or 'track time' are available, Mean Speed is used.

 

 

Delete a specific sub-element of a *.GPX file

*.GPX can contain different types of files, in order to delete just a specific sub-file instead of deleting the whole *.GPX, apply any of these options:

Contextual menu of the sub-file over the map (Main Window) Contextual menu of the sub-file in the data list ('Main Menu > Data > Element')

Possibility to set several predefined data folders

From 'Main Menu > Settings > System > Folders' the user can set more than one default data folders to storage his elements (maps, tracks, routes, waypoints,...).
 

Aventura / Sportiva/+: New tools to manage altitude

New calibration methods have been added to 'Main Menu > Settings > System > Calibration > Barometer calibration':
 

Manually Current GPS altitude Current *.CDEM map altitude

 

From 'Main Menu > Settings > Navigation > Height', height data field can be defined from among several registers:
 

GPS altitude *.CDEM map altitude (*.CDEM elevation map required) Barometric altitude: manual calibration Barometric altitude: automatic calculation by GPS Barometric altitude: automatic calculation by *.CDEM map (*.CDEM elevation map required)

 

 

Sportiva / Sportiva+: Auto-adjustable backlight

Backlight can be automatically adapted to the intensity of light impacting on the light sensor of the GPS which is located in the led. Enable the automatic backlight from 'Settings > Brightness > Autobrightness'.

Once you have configured your own commands press OK to apply changes.

 

 

 

TRACKS NEW FEATURES

 

 

Trackback

When 'trackback' is pressed ('Main Menu > Navigate > Trackback'), the currently recorded track up to this moment is inverted, so the user can navigate it in reverse. Inverted track file is recorded with a different name: 'trackback1', 'trackback2',...
 

By pressing 'trackback' the recorded track is inaltered and TwoNav keeps recording it.

 

 

Track subdivision in legs

Change Leg here: Creates a new leg of the same track in the current GPS position with default information and name (no instant customization of the section).

 

Note: In order to enable this function at the toolbar, select 'Main Menu > Settings > Display > Toolbar > Change leg'.

 

Show/Hide the current recorded track in the list of tracks

From 'Main Menu > Settings > System > Advanced > Show current tracklog in list' the user can show or hide the track that iscurrently being recorded in the list of tracks ('Main Menu > Data > Tracks').





Sort tracks

Tracks can be ordered in different ways: open the contextual menu on track list ('Main Menu > Data > Tracks') and press 'Sort by' to choose the value to order them.

 

 

 

New track properties

'Main Menu > Track > Track Properties > General':

Track title: Title defining the track (not necessarily the same text as 'track file name')   Rating: The author rates the track according to several predefined values.   Cyclability: Sets if track can be performed by bicycles. By default this option is fixed as 'unkown'.   Circular: Sets the type of itinerary depending on if the track ends in the same point as it starts ('yes') or in a different point ('no').   Terrain: Sets the type of terrain performed according to several predefined values.

 

 

 

Record track also in *.GPX format

By default tracks can be recorded using *.GPX format ('Main Menu > Settings > Navigation > Tracklog > File format > *.GPX').

 

WAYPOINTS NEW FEATURES

Anchor: Fix position as 'virtual position'

Fix a virtual position somewhere is to virtually replace the current position of the user for a new position in the map. In order to anchor a position apply any of these options:

'Main Window > Contextual menu > Anchor here'   'Main Menu > Data > Item > Contextual menu of a waypoint > Anchor here'

Once fixed, information displayed on data fields (e.g: proximity) is based according to the new anchored position, and not on the real position of the user. Moreover, if 'Anchor here' is pinned, options such as 'Recenter map' are applied to the anchored waypoint instead of the current position of the user.

In order to restore the current position as the default one, apply the same option to unpin the fixation.

 

MAPS NEW FEATURES

 

 

New 'auto-map' possibilities

The easiest way to use the most suitable map for each situation is to activate ‘Automaps’ function ('Main Menu > Settings > Display'):

Auto-open maps: Opens the most suitable map for each situation   Auto-open on-line maps: Opens the most suitable on-line map (only visible in connected devices)   Auto-open reliefs (*.CDEM): Opens the most suitable elevation map for each situation (enabled independently from 'Auto-open maps')

 

In 'On-Road' mode, the road map (V-Map) is displayed automatically. In 'Off-Road' mode, TwoNav closes all maps with the one having the best resolution for the present position keep opened.

 

 

Autozoom also available in Off-Road mode

If ‘Autozoom’ mode is active (‘Main Menu > Settings > Display > Autozoom’), the user can set the most suitable zoom to be displayed during the navigation. The default ‘Autozoom’ can be selected among several types:

Automatic   Show destination (zoom window including the current position and the destination)   Show next event (zoom window including the current position and the following route/waypoint/roadbook point,...)   Show all current leg (zoom window including the current position and the present leg or full track)   Fixed by user (settable from ‘Fix scale’)   100% of current primary map (the whole map is displayed)

Moreover, during the navigation, if ‘Force 2D’ is enabled, 2D map view is automatically set even other views are currently displayed.





Reliefs in 2D maps

 

Relief shadows can be displayed on maps presented in 2D mode enabling 'Main Menu > Settings > Display > 3D Reliefs > 2D Shaded relief'.
 

Note: This function consumes a significant amount of resources, it may cause slowness in some systems.




Sea level representation

When the height is under the sea level, 3D mode can also represent the situation by fixing the current value of the sea level from 'Main Menu > Settings > 3D mode > Sea Level'. (*.CDEM elevation map required). By default, the level of the sea is set at 0 meters.

Open the best map from the contextual menu

When no map is presented, by pressing 'Open best map for this area' (contextual menu of the main window) the most suitable map for the current area of all loaded maps will be displayed.
 

 

ROADBOOKS NEW FEATURES

 

 

Live roadbook creation

Mark Roadbook point here: Creates a roadbook point in current GPS position with default name and icon in one click without instant customization of the point.

Note: In order to enable this function at the toolbar, select 'Main Menu > Settings > Display > Toolbar > Mark Roadbook point'.
