The Map Configuration tab allows the operator to configure waypoint defaults, safety zone defaults, vehicle, topside and USBL history, underlay charts on the map, and configure the HUD.
Waypoints are special purpose markers that designate the path of the vehicle, specified by an X, Y, and Z position.
The navigation tools menu contains eight tabs used to place markers, log data, and define important navigational settings. The tabs contain specific details for Waypoints, Map Configuration, Markers, Man Overboard (MOB) markers, Logging, Playback, Mission and Position/Declination. The Map Tools also provide display settings for the Map View.
Selecting Pan from the top right HUD allows the operator to pan the grid view. This feature will allow for the vehicle to be panned off the screen if the Center On option is not selected.
The Center On button keeps the selected vehicle, ROV or ship, in view. If the vehicle moves off the visible screen area, clicking Center On will focus the view on the vehicle.
Operators can clear the history trail of the vehicle, ship, and USBL with the Clear Trail button on the top left of the Map View. Pressing this button will clear all travel history from the map but will preserve all other elements.
The Man Overboard (MOB) button creates a special purpose marker that, when activated, saves vehicle attitude and position
