A Route is a collection of Waypoints along a path from the start to the finish.
KayakNav support multiple routes and will automatically load the nearest route. It does this by finding the closest route starting point to your current GPS location.
In order to create a new route you can either:
- Just plot your path on GoogleEarth and email yourself the KMZ or KML file.
- Select the Blank Route and start paddling. The route will be recorded and stored for later use.
If you open a KMZ or KML file, KayakNav be one of the available Apps that is registered to open it. If you select KayakNav to open the file, any KMZ will be unzipped and processed like a KML file. KayakNav processes the XML content of the file into a series of Waypoints. The Route is then optimised by removing intermediate waypoints and the route is stored in an internal database for faster performance. This also allows KayakNav to handle routes of virtually any size. It also calculates all the statistics required to track your paddling.
Next time you select a Route or it is auto-selected for you, it will load quickly from the database.
