Modify Remote Label Attributes You can see from the labels that all of the remotes are in different colors. These colors can be changed by editing the attributes of the remote. To change attributes, tap and hold on the label, and choose the label name in the menu, followed by Edit Point… This will bring up the Remote Item Attributes dialog. In the Remote Item Attributes dialog, you can change the Text and the background color of the Remote by selecting the appropriate buttons. You can also set a different display name for the Remote. Some Tracking servers require a long numeric id for the remote. Using this ID on the Remote label can obscure the map screen, and make identifying which remote you are viewing difficult. In the case here, if you’re editing the Remote ID “Michael J”, setting the label to “Mike” will now cause the label on the screen to appear as “Mike” instead. Keeping Pace You can use PathAway as a PACE monitor for activities such as rally racing, sport training, and time-based arrival businesses such as shipping, tour guide operations, and aviation. Essentially this feature monitors your speed and distance vs your pre-defined average speed and distance. You can even pace against a previously recorded track, or use the distance from a plotted route. To setup for Pace Monitoring, you'll need to launch the Preferences->Pace dialog, set the desired pace targets, then edit the Pace Dashboard items to have the Pace Data show up on the screen. The following example will show you how to setup PathAway to keep pace with an average speed of 30 miles/hr. (You can set whatever speed you would like to travel at depending on your mode of transportation) Setting up for Pace Monitoring First, select the main menu item Options->Preferences. Next select the Pace section. You will see a screen as it appears on the right. From the Monitor Pace By section, choose “Average Speed” from the drop-down. Notice the “Correction Distance” option on this screen. This option allows you to setup a “catch up” distance if you fall behind. PathAway will show the “Target Speed” on the dashboard. This “Target Speed” is the speed you must travel in order to catch up (or slow down) to your specified average speed. Set the Correction distance to 1 mile. Press Ok to return to the main map screen.
