Мое увлечение внедорожным спортом началось в недалеком 2014 году, когда муж сказал что мы едем на внедорожное трофи ориентирование.
С мужа было до конца собрать машину, он как раз поставил новый двиг QD32 и регистрировал изменения.
С меня было — изучить и обеспечить наш экипаж навигацией. Скажу сразу, с навигацией я вообще была раньше на Вы, ну разве что из школьного курса географии знала где север, юг, и как их найти
Тогда в качестве железа выбрала свой старенький ноут на винде, ну как же сисадмин без компа :)))) Поэтому из навигационного ПО выбор был небольшой: Озик и СасПланета. Потестив то и другое выбор пал на планету. Забежав вперед сразу скажу что ей так и пользуюсь.
Итак, небольшой обзор СасПланеты:
Офиц сайт:portal.farmaimpex.ru/ext/…82-425d-99cd-855223b78268
Лицензия: GPLv3, а по русски свободное бесплатное использование
Обновления: начали вроде как снова поддерживать обновления, на 28.05.19 последнее обновление декабрь 2018.
Удобства:
1. Программа не требует установки. Скачали с сайта, распаковали архив и готово. Удобно что прогу можно хранить на съемном носителе (флешка, внешний жесткий диск).
2. Настройка горячих клавиш. Я по образованию системотехник, программист, работать привыкла исключительно с использованием горячих клавиш, да и в машине когда едешь и все трясется, навести курсор мыши и ткнуть куда надо та еще дилемма
Из настроенных функций по горячим клавишам: переключение карт (на каждую карту свое сочетание клавиш), занесение новых точек, включение меню работы с треками/точками, изменение масштаба карты.
3. Настройка отображаемых карт. Для себя определила небольшой перечень карт которые меня устраивают, их и оставила в списке отображаемых, остальное скрыла.
4. Удобная прокладка маршрута.: Считаю одним из самых главных вещей в навигации.
5. Быстрое забивание точек. ОЧЕНЬ нужная вещь на соревнованиях, когда все решает время, вбивать точки получается быстро и удобно. Главное не косячить с введенными циферками :)))) что у нас было пару раз, из-за чего лишились призового места :)))))
6. Возможность систематизировать хранилище точек и треков. Ну я без этого никак т.к. привыкла чтоб все было по полочкам и на своих местах.
7. Загрузка карт по выбранному маршруту. Строим маршрут или берем готовый трек, говорим скачать такую то карту вдоль трека в радиусе 50 км и готово!

There are over 80+ categories of places of interest to be showcased on your maps, like restaurants, parks, or hotels. The app offers a free trial of 7 days, but after, you will have to pay $2.49 to purchase it.
