Working with Load Destination (GPS Position) Process

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

 

Process Purpose

 

The "Load Destination (GPS Position)" process is used to send the destination's latitude and longitude to the CoPilot navigation application and, if valid, to start the navigation routing.

 

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the "Load Destination (GPS Position)" process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

 

"General" tab

 

 

Fill in the following options (the options marked with an asterisk are NOT mandatory):

 

GPS Position (in Decimal Degrees)

Latitude

Enter the latitude to be loaded OR  click to select a variable that provides the value. See Variable Usage.

Longitude

Enter the longitude to be loaded OR  click to select a variable that provides the value.

If Error

Go to

Select a target location from the drop-down or list, in case there is an error. See Detail of a window below.

 

When defining a screen as a target destination (ex: via a “Go to” process), you CANNOT use variables to specify the name of that target screen. You must select the intended screen from the available drop-down/list.

 

Detail of a window:

 

 

"S:Menu" is a screen included in the same program as the process.

"R:Routine_1" is a routine included in the same program as the process.

 

If required, click to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

 

After filling in the required options, click to conclude or to abort the operation.

The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.

 

 

If you want to use a label as a target destination, you can use the "Auto-Label" mechanism. This alternative to the "Set Label" process allows you to create a label in the properties window of a process - specifically, in the fields used to define target destinations (ex: the "If Error..." type fields). See To Automatically Create a Label.

 

 

Use the right-click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access some related options as well as the general "Cut", "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search" actions (active/inactive according to the current context).

Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with general editing/search actions and other more specific options such as "Variable Select" (see "Variable Select"); "Variable Insert" (see "Variable Insert"); "Insert Special Character" (see To Insert Special Characters into a Control's Text Input Field) and "Localization Select" (see Localization List).

If you right-click another input box, it may provide other possibilities.
