I know you can choose between your path ahead representing either distance or time on my GPS' How many miles/minutes does it represent? I expect to be rebuked for my incompetence and I am going out to the garden, nekid, to thrash myself with nettles. Upon my return, I hope to find that some kind soul will have taken pity on me and provided guidance. SD and a cheap Chinese satnav = Jobzagoodun.

Skydemon on cheap chinese GPS unit: Tap SkyDemon icon (Top Left) - Settings - Preferences - Moving Map Should see a Box marked "Trajectory Display" towards the bottom of the page: Tap the Down Arrow head & select "None", "Distance Ahead" or "Time Ahead" Tap "Save" & it should take you back to the map with the new choice enabled. Once moving, a line will project from the Plane Symbol with markers at 2, 5 10 (Minutes or Miles according to your preference) Regards, Max. Edited 7/21/2012 8:26:51 AM by Max_UK

Group: Forum Members Posts: 63, Visits: 510	Max, you have me confused! The only question mark I saw followed the sentence: How many miles/minutes does it represent? As I don't have 'SD and a cheap Chinese satnav', I gave the answer using an iPad.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 68, Visits: 295	Thanks chaps, Mine is set for distance and I managed to figure out the distances by comparing with 'distance to next waypoin't on my way to Leicester yesterday. Agree with you that the distances are 2,5 & 10 miles. I run two units and might set one for time and one for distance. SD and a cheap Chinese satnav = Jobzagoodun.
