Line Menu — Start line setup
The Atlas is designed to help you get a great start to any race, showing a
highly accurate measure of distance to line (DTL), as well as a start timer. To
measure DTL, begin by pressing the LINE button to record the locations of the
marks which define the starting line. This brings up the Line Menu, and
dedicates buttons 1 and 2 to recording the locations of the Boat and Pin
.
Each
time the BOAT or PIN button is pressed, the Atlas will save the current GPS
coordinates as the location of that mark, replacing any previous pings. Once
both marks have been recorded, the Line Menu will show additional
information about the starting line, including line length and perpendicular
heading. Line bias and advantage information is displayed if shift tracking
reference angles are set, see below. Exit the Line Menu by pressing the Back
button or the Home button.
Once the starting marks have been recorded, the Atlas automatically displays
DTL on the starting screen, measured in meters. DTL is currently calculated
without any bow offset, this feature will be available in a future release. To
start the 5 minute countdown timer, press Start. Minutes can be added to the
timer using the +1 button. The Start button becomes Sync while the timer is
running. Pressing Reset will stop the countdown timer and reset it to 5
minutes.
After the countdown timer reaches zero, the Atlas will automatically change to
the main screen. The timer will continue counting up in the background, until
the End button is pressed.
is now available as a beta feature!
