Appearance of Waypoints in Land (Inheritance System)

Waypoints have numerous display properties to achieve optimal and configurable visualization, both for waypoint files and track roadbook points. (see complete list of waypoint properties)

These properties are within an inheritance system, so if a property is not defined for a specific waypoint, its value is searched for in the file it belongs to. If it is also not defined in the file, it is searched for in the general settings.

If we want to modify the appearance of the waypoints, we can do so from the general settings, and it will affect all waypoints that do not have specific information configured. With this system, it is not necessary to configure each waypoint, making it very easy and quick to adjust the appearance of all waypoints at any time.

The same properties are available in Land, TwoNav App, and TwoNav GPS devices.

In Land, we can find all these properties in each of these 3 configuration levels:

• General Configuration: Menu > File > Preferences > Waypoints > Default Values
  
  Note: These settings are synchronized with the GO Cloud, so they will be set automatically on all synchronized devices.
   
• File Properties (waypoints/track) > Waypoints Default Values
  
   
• Waypoint Properties > 'View' Section
  

In this last image, we can see the list of all configurable properties.

Values that are not defined, and therefore taken from the upper level, will be marked in parentheses as default (def.).

If at any time we want to revert a property to its default value, just right-click and select 'Take default from Default values'.

Note: The 'Text background transparency' property depends on the 'Text background color' property. The Transparency property will only appear if the Text background color is specifically defined in that list. That is, if the Transparency property does not appear, define a value for the Text background color, and then it will appear.
 

Roadbook Points (Track Waypoints)

The roadbook points (waypoints embedded in a track) incorporate all the properties of waypoints, so they have the same options for customization, including the 'View' properties.

The detour and variant junction points are specially marked (blue), and do not allow configuration.

The general configuration that applies to roadbook points (track waypoints) is the same as for waypoints (Preferences > Waypoints > Default Values).

Cloud Synchronization

If you synchronize Land with the Cloud, this waypoint appearance setting will also be synchronized. In other words, if you change this setting in Land, it will also be updated on TwoNav devices and/or in the App when you synchronize them with the Cloud:
