Auto switch Waypoints- switch range

Postby pete2052 » 10 Aug 2013, 16:20

When following a route, the auto switch to the next waypoint seems to happen at a range of 1nm or less from the current waypoint
If you cut the corner outside this range auto switch doesn't happen.
Could this range be made user adjustable please?

Thanks
Pete

Algorithm for switching WPTs is more complicated than checking distance only.
One of valures is the max distance from WPT, where is possible apply switching algorithm. This value can be adjustable at preferences.

Ok, thanks, sounds just the thing, but where is the setting in preferences?

Do you mean "Max nearest distance" this is already set at 100nm.

Thanks

It is not in prefereces now. Next upgrade will have it and it will be called Max distance for switching WPT

Max nearest distance is max distance for searching the nearest objects...

Ah, sorry I misunderstood!

I think that will be a great improvement, to be able to adjust the autoswitch sensitivity .

Many thanks for a great App.

Regards

That was a quick upgrade! Thanks!

For info: "Always switching DME" has a typo error, I think the last option should be 1500ft, not 150ft...... Could these options be made bigger say up to 2nm?

Thanks
