Defining location information using the Coordinate field
The Coordinate field on the right side of the SimPSY Route dialog dialog displays all the parameters for the most recently entered coordinate for the route.
To add a new coordinate for the route, enter the required values in the fields, and click Add. To modify the parameters of the most recently added coordinate, enter the required values, and click Apply. Note that as the drawing of the route alone cannot present all the different options available, default values will be substituted in the added coordinates.
The values of the most recently added coordinate function as the default values for the next coordinate to be added. For example, if you add a coordinate by drawing it, change the speed slightly, and click Apply, the new speed will be the default speed for the subsequently added coordinates. Note that the direction changes dynamically when you add new coordinates, in other words, the direction value of the old coordinate is in the direction of the new coordinate.
For more detailed information on the different parameters, see Introduction in
the Simulation PSY User Guide.. Some parameters are only valid
for the SPS file format and are subsequently ignored
when writing output in NMEA format.
