| + | | N 50 41.123 E 15 10.456\\ 50 41.123 15 10.456\\ 50d41.123 15d10.456 | "d" or space means degrees, coordinates are read as thery are typed, hemisphere N/S and E/W is optional | | ||
| + | | 41.123 10.456 | numbers are seen as minutes, degrees are taken from cache coordinates | | ||
| + | | 123 456 | numbers are seen as thousandth of minutes, degrees and whole minutes are taken from cache coordinates | | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Azimuth and distance - projection ==== | ||
| + | If the author assigned to cache only the direction and distance PocketDrake will help you determine where to go. The process is simple: | ||
| + | * add waypoint on starting coordinates, where the distance is calculated from | ||
| + | * use the right arrow button to open a dialog box for setting the azimuth and distance | ||
| + | * after tapping OK the original waypoint coordinates are replaced with new ones | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Formula Solver ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Basics === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Two information is necessary to solve a formula | ||
| + | * variables | ||
| + | * formula itself | ||
| + | |||
| + | Variables are usually commot for all waypoints, they are stored in cache note. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There could be more waypoints with different formulas, we store forumlas in waypoint note. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Variables and formulas must me marked with special tags | ||
| + | <! variables !> | ||
| + | <? formulas ?> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Formulas steb by step === | ||
| + | ==1. Collect variables and write them into cache note, follow these simple rules: == | ||
| + | * name and value is separated by colon or equal sign, example A=1 B:3 | ||
| + | * variables must me separated by space or line break | ||
| + | * it is possible to assign more letters at a time, example ABC=456 | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==2. Mark varibales block (it could be only one)== | ||
| + | * select block | ||
| + | * coose Mark variables from context menu | ||
| + | {{:vars:1.png|Záznam proměnných}} {{:vars:2.png|Označené proměnné}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==3. Copy formula from listing to clipboard == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==4. Crate waypoint == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==5. Add formula to waypoint == | ||
| + | {{:vars:3.png|Vložení vzorce}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | (1) Use **Paste formulas**, PocketDrake adds necessary tags automatically\\ | ||
| + | (2) Adjust formula so that the first line of the formula is for the latitude (N/S) and the other for the longitude (E/W)\\ | ||
| + | (3) Open formula solver tapping **Calculate formulas** | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==6. Fine tune formulas== | ||
| + | Edit formulas to follow basic syntax rules: | ||
| + | * separately calculated groups of digits are enclosed in square brackets [ ] | ||
| + | * supported math operations are add (+), subtract (-), multiply (*), divide (/), power (^) and round bracket | ||
| + | * priority of operators is respected, ie, first to multiply and divide and then add and subtract | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use the **Normalize formulas** (1) to simplify edittind: | ||
| + | * replaces outer round brackets with square ones | ||
| + | * moves N/S and W/E to corresponding fields | ||
| + | * removes unnecessary characters | ||
| + | Now, we can try **Calculate formulas** (2) | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{:vars:4.png|Úprava vzorců}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==7. Calculation== | ||
| + | If there is an error in the formula (wrong syntax, the brackets doesn't match, undefined variable), the error message appears in Result box, otherwise there are calculated coordinates. | ||
| + | Digit sum (Σ box) is automatically calculated too. | ||
| + | |||

| + | ==8. Done== | ||
| + | Follow the arrow | ||
