14.1 Introduction to Rand McNally Trailhead

You must first install Rand McNally Trailhead on your PC. This is a free software program available on www.randmcnally.com. It is available in the Support section under Outdoor GPS. Download the file to a location you will remember on your computer, then double-click on it to install it. Once it is installed, plug in your GPS device and wait for it to be recognized by your computer. Then start Trailhead. If your device is connected to your PC, it will appear as connected in the lower left corner of the Trailhead screen.

When you first start Trailhead, you will be given an option to watch a brief overview video of how to use Trailhead. If you wish to watch it at a later time, it is also available from the Help menu at the top. You will also be given the opportunity to register your device. If it is connected, the serial number will automatically be pre-entered. If it does not appear, then disconnect and reconnect your USB cable to your device and wait for it to show as connected.

14.2 Import of GPX files

GPX is the most common industry file format for tracks, geocaches and waypoints. There are numerous websites and providers on the internet that offer tracks to download, or you can use GPX files from friends or other devices. To transfer GPX files from a web site or other source to your device, you must first save them on your PC. Then choose "GPX Manager" at the top in Rand McNally Trailhead. You can watch a brief video on how this is done from the Help menu.

When Trailhead starts, it searches your computer and any connected Rand McNally GPS device for GPX files and shows them in a list. You can control what directories are searched under the Options menu at the top. The Storage Location column shows whether the file was found on your PC, or on your GPS device.

To view the GPX files on a map, simply select an item in the list. If it is a track, tap the "+" to see the detail. You can then select any detail item to not only see the location of the track, but the speed and altitude along any portion. Simple tap on any portion of the track on the map, and see the corresponding speed or altitude on the tabs below the map.

You can also copy or delete the GPX files by highlighting the selected item next to the “+”, rather than the detail underneath. Select the detail under the “+” to see speed and altitude, but select the “+” summary to see the possible options shown by the orange circle icons on the right.

GPX files on the map view

In the GPX manager, you can display waypoints, tracks and geocaches that you have created yourself. The map can be moved using the arrows and the hand icon. The zoom level of the map can be changed with "+" and "-". Viewing options such as satellite and map are located at the top right-hand edge of the map view screen.

In the bottom section of the GPX manager, you can display the altitude and speed profiles, length, time and description of tracks and waypoints. If no information exists in relation to this, the detailed view remains empty. If no actually required time exists, the anticipated required time is calculated based on the average speeds for cyclists and pedestrians which exist in the navigation device

Transfer GPX files from your PC to the navigation device

To import downloaded GPX files to your navigation device:

1. Select the button "Import".
2. Search for the file you want on your PC, select it and use the button "Open".
3. The file has now been imported to the GPX manager and can now be saved on the GPS device.
4. Mark the file you want and choose "Copy from PC to device memory" on the right.

14.4 Import of POIs

On Google Earth other websites a large number of points of interest (POIs) are available for you to download. If these POIs exist in a KML or KMZ format, you can transfer them to your navigation device via the KML import plugin of Trailhead. For a short video on how to import KML POI data, select it from the Help menu.

KMZ/KML files from Google Earth

The following section describes how you can incorporate several POIs as a new POI category.

Note: Rand McNally has no influence over functions of Google Earth which are described in the instructions. There may therefore be changes to the sequence which is described.

1. Start Google Earth.
2. Enter a city and a subject theme in the search box at the top left (e.g. "Chicago" and "Museums").
3. Selecting the folder icon below the resulting list to copy to My Places
4. The selected POIs are displayed under "My Places".
5. Click on the "My Places" item with the right mouse button and select the menu item "Save As". The file can now be saved on the PC as a KMZ file.

KML/KMZ import in Rand McNally Trailhead

On the Trailhead menu bar, select menu select item "Plugins". In this wizard, you can select the KML or KMZ (compressed KML) file on your PC which you would like to transfer to your navigation device. Once you have selected a file, a list of the POIs in it appears beneath it. Press the Next button.

In the next window, you can assign an individual category name for your POI category. You also have the option here of providing more details about the particular POI category. Once you have provided the POI category with a name and the information you want, confirm your entries again with the Next button.

In the next step, you have the option of selecting an icon to be displayed on the map with the respective POIs. A small selection of icons are suggested for you. However, you can also select your own icon from your PC. This icon should have a resolution of 72 dpi and the image size 16x16 pixels.

Finally, confirm your entry again with the "Next" button. If you do not specify your own icon, the default icon shown will be used for displaying the POI on the map. The final window once again summarises the information for the POI category which is to be imported. When

you press the Complete button, the KML or KMZ file will be converted to Rand McNally format.

The converted POI category appears automatically after a few seconds under the "My favorites" tab. To transfer the POI category to the navigation device, select it and click on the right-hand side of the window on the button Copy from PC to device memory or Copy from PC to SD card. Following successful transfer, your own POI category is available on the navigation device for nearby searches or navigation destinations.

14.5 Software

Each time Trailhead starts, it automatically checks Rand McNally servers for any available updates. If one is available, it will appear under the Software tab. You can then select it and copy to your device. Make sure you have done a backup to your PC first, selecting the "Backup Data on your Device" button on the lower right.

19. Glossary

Barometer: A barometer is a measuring device used to measure atmospheric pressure. The barometer is used to calculate the current height and is shown on the trip computer.

Quick access button: The quick access button is the lower button on the left-hand side of the device. This button stops or pauses track recording. However, you can also select another function which for this button in Settings.

Geocache: Is a container in which you will find objects to swap or a logbook. The ultimate goal is to find and log the treasure or cache.

Geocaching: Is a kind of electronic treasure hunt or scavenger hunt in which you can find small caches of treasure using published coordinates and waypoints. The Rand McNally Foris is compatible with direct download of Geocaches from Geocacaching.com

Geocoin: Geocoins perform the same role as Travel Bugs. They are tracked online and can travel around the world. Geocoins are often individually designed by geocachers and are also used as collectors' items.

GPS: The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based system for global positioning. Your location can be pinpointed using the conventional GPS satellite system to within about 50 feet at any time – provided that a GPS signal is being received. Location accuracy will vary based on available satellites, interference from trees, clouds and other factors. GPS

satellites are not stationary and are in constant movement, so accuracy can vary at the same location at different times.

GPX file: The most common file format for saving tracks or waypoints is the GPX format. The files are saved in the GPX manager. However, the tracks or waypoints they contain are also displayed in the track manager or waypoint manager. (Note: To delete imported waypoints, the corresponding GPX file must be deleted.)

Compass: A compass is a measuring instrument for determining the cardinal direction. The compass icon on the navigation view screen shows you the north bearing. If you display the compass in a large-scale view via the rapid access menu, the entire map is orientated in the direction you are looking.

Log: By logging geocaches, you can document the success or failure of your treasure hunt online at Geocaching.com. This allows other people and primarily the geocache owner to follow and track what is happening around the cache.

microSD card: You can increase the memory capacity of your device if you use a microSD card. microSD cards with a memory of up to 32 GB can be used. To insert the card into the device, see page 7. Data can be transferred to the SD card using Trailhead (see Chapter 14).

Loop Me!: Loop Me allows you to create a trip based on the time or distance of your choosing, and other parameters such as hilly or flat. You can then show 3 choices of loops on the map screen given this same criteria.

Point of interest: A point of interest (POI) is an address or position of special interest such as restaurants, interesting sights, museums and many more. The points of interest on your device are divided up into various categories to make it easier to search for specific destinations. Additional points of interest can be transferred to the device via Trailhead (see Chapter 14).

Coordinates: Positions can be determined precisely with the aid of coordinates. This makes sense particularly on open terrain away from roads. Coordinates are normally specified with degrees of latitude and longitude.

Track: A track is a route which is precisely defined (with the aid of coordinates placed close to one another which are connected to form a line). This can be displayed on the map so that you can travel along it. Tracks can also be recorded with the device. In track navigation, no turn-by-turn directions are displayed or spoken announcements issued; however, you can convert a track into a route to allow spoken guidance using the Track Manager menu item

Trackable: The best-known trackables include the Travel Bugs. These are transported from one cache to the next and their journey is documented on a special website. In addition, they have a unique numerical combination for identification.

Trip computer: The trip computer is the information and statistics hub in your Rand McNally Foris. Data relating to the current route can be called up. (Note: Save your current track before you change batteries to save your statistics.)

Waypoint: A waypoint is a geoposition saved as a pair of coordinates (geographical latitude and longitude) in open terrain. A waypoint can be any point in the countryside—e.g. a branch on a path, a hut, or any desired POI. Each waypoint can be selected as a destination.
