NOTE: This functionality has generally been superseded by the newer Drill Down Waypoint Descriptions Module, however we still include the “classic” Waypoint Descriptions Module when purchasing the newer module.
The Optional geoDVR Waypoint Descriptions Module offers powerful ability to easily define and add your own mission-specific waypoint descriptions or keywords using the geoDVR interface.
In-mission, these waypoint descriptions will be available for selection once the user selects the “Drop Waypoint” button on the touch screen monitor.
Post-mission, these waypoint descriptions will be visible as you hover over a waypoint indicator in LineVision software.
IMPORTANT: To use the module, you will need to uncheck Options > Disable Popup Message Alerts, otherwise the Waypoint keyword selection windows will be blocked. You will also need Waypoint Descriptions > Prompt for Waypoint Description setting checked to enable the functionality.
Setting the Keywords
NOTE: You will need a mouse and keyboard connected to the USB ports to set up the keywords.
Launch the configuration window from the geoDVR interface by selecting the Waypoint Descriptions menu > Add Waypoint Descriptions
Type in each entry you would like to use, and click Add Text button for each entry. Once you are finished, click the Save button
IMPORTANT: Once you save the menu here, you must also save using the File menu > Save Current Layout.
You are now ready to use the keywords in-mission.
Using the Waypoint Keywords
To use the Waypoint Keywords, you must have a touch screen monitor installed and an observer who can operate it.
While in-mission, touch the Drop Waypoint button in the geoDVR interface. Referencing the images below, select the description to assign the waypoint click the Add Description button.
Now the associated description will be saved within the waypoint’s data which can be viewed interactively in LineVision software.
