User waypoints

You can now enter additional waypoints (such as local farm strips), either manually or by importing from an existing file. Click on the Add/Edit... button in the User Waypoints section to do this.

You cannot add waypoints that have the same identifier as existing BGA turning points. Additionally, when importing, a warning is given if a waypoint is close (<1km) to a BGA turning point and you are given the the option to exclude it.

Once you have a list of user waypoints, you can choose whether or not to include these in the final selection.

Setting the origin

Enter the coordinates of the point which you want to be the centre (origin) of the selection. You can either enter the coordinates directly or, more simply, click on the Browse... button and pick a location from the list.

This setting is remembered, so that you don't have to re-enter it every time you run the program.

If your origin is the same as one of the turning points, this will be selected even with the range still set to zero - you will see the count of turning points in range and selected change to 1.

Setting the range

There are two approaches to making your initial automatic selection. Either set the range to the maximum distance you want (assuming the number of points selected does not exceed the capacity of your GPS), or just increase the range in steps (use the up/down arrow buttons) until the number of points included is equal to or a little less than your GPS's capacity.

(Note that ranges are not recalculated until a short time after you stop changing the value, so you won't see any change in the number of points selected while you are actually spinning the value with an arrow button.)

When you run the progam again, the last range set is remembered.

Setting boundaries

As well as setting a range, you can additionally restrict the selection by setting from one to four boundaries along lines of latitude or longitude.

You can choose to exclude turning points which are north or south of a particular latitude or east or west of a particular longitude.

To set boundaries, click on the Boundaries... button.
