Hello. This is a video guide
about Zinc navigator
Zinc as off-road navigator
and, first we will start
it's an interface
Interface are pretty primitive
Here is a map
On right side
most
usable instruments
zoom, map centering
by gps position
while gps is enabled, we moving
and map moves with gps cursor
next is a map switch button
we return on it later
next
toggle of bottom toolbox visibility
for taking more free space for map
so, that's how is works
and ruler
with ruler we can measure
distance
with single click put the points
with double click - finish
that's how it works
click on ruler button
finish job
next, lower is a
menu
menu is splitted by
categories. Waypoints, Tracks
Routes, Data Export
in data export we can save in file
waypoints and tracks and routes
we will return on it later
and settings
next, bottom toolbox
on left side
will be gps device controls
we will return to that later
next
Routes tool
Odometer
And active waypoint list
So, at the moment we did not loaded any points
and list is blank
and on right side
common gps data
speed, altitude, time
it's, for control
It's all about interface
First of what we should start is
maps
When we open application first time
we will have only one map, it is OSM (OpenStreetMaps)
Current map we can see on the top
name of map
and here it works
this is an online map, and
while you watching a map
it loads and saving
on hard drive
for work in future in offline
if it needed
enything what you watched, will be saved and always will be available
So. How to add new map?
I will not show you all available variants.
Only easiest way
It is a map add from .znc files
which are available on github.com (link in description)
you can download it and use
So. Go to settings.
Select "Maps"
"Add map"
push
select "Create from .znc"
easiest way
push
and...
from available .znc files
choose one
for example Bing Sat
open, and here is it
and it works
add another one
ggc500
here we have GosGisCenter
works
good
so, this is how we can
add maps
next
how to know
where map cache are stored?
we can watch it
is map "Configuration"
open "Configuration"
and we will see map storage path
C:\ZincCache\...
There map data will be stored
Here we can check it
and everytime can change
...
So, all added map data will be stored in "ZincCache" folder
Why "ZincCache" folder
It is a default cache path.
And you can change it
So, if you don't want to maps will be stored on C:\
but wan't it on disc D:\
You can create a folder, where you want to store map data
and set up that folder in settings
Here, push the button which looks like wrench
and here we can see "Default map cache path" setting. And here our folder
ZincCache
Here we can set up any another path
and next added maps
will be saved there
next
If we need
download a map
preload a selected region
it is also available
and here we have button
named as "Preload map"
push it
and here we see "Draw polygon"
So, we need to draw it.
Draw a polygon, which we need to download
How to draw? Pretty easy.
By single clicking on map
Any form can be drawed
Everything what you want
And to finish polygon
we can click on
first point
or by double click
Here
Choose a map
so i selected BingSat
Parallel request count
it is like parallel download count
so, better leave it on default "15"
and all will be ok
lower
select what detalization levels you want to download a map
so, detalization level and...
approx tile count for this level
i.e. map part count of drawed polygon
select...
push "Download"
and download are started...    ...downloaded
marked detalization levels are loaded
here is it
and last thing about maps
one of most important features of app
Fast map switch
How to use it? Here we have
button to toggle map. But is it inactive.
To activate it, we need
check maps, which will be toggable
minimum two
for example we need a BingSat and  GGC
so here i checked that maps
and map toggle button are available
we push it
and here maps are switched
if we need another one
check it
and it works
if we don't need some map
(i will add one more map for example)
for example, if we need only three maps
sattelite, ggc and topo for example, i have marked them
another maps will not bother us
and here they works
bla bla...
bla...
bla bla...
So we can toggle maps with one button
fast and convenient
