A brief
user guide .....
If you are
having difficulty viewing the tracking, please check
that Java is installed in your computer, in order for you to
view the map. If you have Java, but cannot view, please try www.purplefinder.com
website.
If you want
to zoom in on a group of boats, right click in
the centre of the area you wish to see and then drag your
mouse to outline the area. When you release the right click,
the map should refresh to show your chosen area.
If
you want to move up,
down or sideways, click on the white arrows on the
frame.
If you right
click on the map, you will see a menu of options.
If you want distances, select 'on mouse click' then select
'accumulate distance' then left click the two points
on the map (sorry - this only works for the version on www.purplefinder.com)
If you
select 'show history' you can see the tracked route
to date either for individual boats or for the fleet. We
would recommend individual boats for this function! To
reset, select 'show history' 'none'.
If you left
click onto any boat icon, you will see a host of
information for that boat, including weather information,
boat speed, average speed, distance covered etc.
There are
lots of other features for you to play with - enjoy!
If you have
any queries, please e-mail Lindsay
and
she will try to answer them, however please be aware that
she will be meeting the boats in Vietnam so response may be
a little slow.
For further details about the
Hong Kong Vietnam Race, please contact Alex Johnston by e-mail
