Use the Mark Waypoint or Mark Waypoint from Averaged Positioncommand to save a point feature at the<br />

current <strong>GPS</strong> location. When selected, this command will display a dialog allowing you to specify any<br />

additional desired attributes and/or drawing styles that you would like to associate with the waypoint.<br />

If you select the Averaged Position option, <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per will start averaging locations received until you<br />

choose to stop averaging, at which point you will be presented with the dialog described above. Averaging is<br />

useful if you need a very accurate position for your waypoint.<br />

Any created waypoint features will be added to the user features layer, which appears in the Overlay Control<br />

Center. The waypoint features can be exported to any of the supported vector export formats.<br />

Vessel Color<br />

The Vessel Color command allows you to control what color the <strong>GPS</strong> vessel is displayed in.<br />

The Vessel Size submenu options allow you to control how large you would like the <strong>GPS</strong> vessel to be on<br />

screen.<br />

Vessel Shape<br />

The Vessel Shape submenu options allow you to control the shape of the <strong>GPS</strong> vessel on screen.<br />

Setup...<br />

<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per User's Manual<br />

The Setup command displays the <strong>GPS</strong> Setup dialog (pictured below). The <strong>GPS</strong> Setup dialog allows you to tell<br />

<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per what port your <strong>GPS</strong> device is connected to your computer on and what format the <strong>GPS</strong> device<br />

is communicating in. Make sure that you have your <strong>GPS</strong> device set to NMEA-0183 v2.x or Garmin mode.<br />

There is also an Auto-Detect option which will cause <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per to try and automatically determine your<br />

<strong>GPS</strong> device's settings when you start tracking the device. You can also specify that you would like to read<br />

<strong>GPS</strong> information from a text file containing NMEA-0183 sentences. The Data Logging section allows you to<br />

setup logging of the incoming <strong>GPS</strong> information to new text files. You can choose to log decoded position<br />

information (including latitude and longitude, elevation/depth, speed, heading, and time) in addition to raw<br />

NMEA data strings for connected NMEA <strong>GPS</strong> devices.<br />
