Description
The AddWaypoint Connect command enables you to add a new waypoint to the route of a great arc vehicle using a specified {AddMethod}.
The AddWaypoint command will only propagate from the last point to the newly added point. To repropagate the entire route, use the Propagate command.
The following table describes the <Parameters>, which are based on the {AddMethod}:
| {AddMethod} | <Parameters> |
|---|---|
| DetTimeFromVelAcc | [{MapGridSpec}] {PointDef} <Velocity> <Acceleration> |
| DetTimeAccFromVel | [{MapGridSpec}] {PointDef} <Velocity> |
| DetVelFromTime | [{MapGridSpec}] {PointDef} {DateTime} |
<TurnRadius> is an optional parameter for any {AddMethod}. It is entered in Connect distances units. If you do not enter a value, <TurnRadius> is 0.0 meters.
{MapGridSpec} indicates the method for specifying points. It can be LatLon or UTM. This is an optional parameter and, if not specified, then LatLon is assumed. The following table describes the values for {PointDef} based on the {MapGridSpec}.
| {MapGridSpec} | {PointDef} |
|---|---|
| LatLon | <Latitude> <Longitude> <Altitude> |
| UTM | <ZoneStr> <Easting> <Northing> <Altitude> |
If you do not enter {MapGridSpec}, then {PointDef} is <Latitude> <Longitude> <Altitude>.
Use the following units and values to enter the parameters described in the preceding two tables:
| <Parameter> | Unit |
|---|---|
| Latitude and Longitude | Use Connect Latitude and Longitude units. The default is degrees. |
| Altitude | Enter <Altitude> in Connect distance units, or use the keyword Terrain, to calculate the altitude using loaded Terrain data. |
| ZoneStr | Valid values for <ZoneStr> are A, B, Y, Z, or ddc, where 00>dd>61 and c is C-X. |
| Easting Northing | <Easting> and <Northing> are entered in Connect distance units. |
| Acceleration | Use Connect distance units per sec^2. |
| Velocity | Use Connect distance units per sec. |
| {DateTime} | For valid {DateTime} values, see Time Options. |
| TurnRadius | <TurnRadius> is an optional parameter entered in Connect distances units. If no value is entered, <TurnRadius> is 0.0. |
Waypoints added using the DetVelFromTime {AddMethod} must be added in increasing time order or a NACK will occur.
Specifying the {AddMethod} sets that Method for all waypoints, which may alter Time, Velocity, or Acceleration for any previously defined waypoints. When adding a series of points, all should use the same method.
Examples
To add a series of waypoints to Ship1 using the DetTimeAccFromVel method and LatLon point definition:
