1. Useful functions for creating plan
This page introduces useful features related to creating plan.
1.1. Exprt plan
The created plan can be exported as a plan file of Brevet Manager. Since the exported plan file is reusable on other devices, it can be used as information provision to friends or as a backup.Cloud storage such as DropBox or iCloud is required to export as a plan file. Display the menu from the planning screen and tap "Export as plan file".
The installed cloud storage app will be displayed.
Please select a save destination and save. The file name is saved as "brevetmanager.plan" as default. Change the name to something that is easy to understand.
1.2. Export plan as image
You can export the contents of the plan as an image file. This is convenient when publishing to a blog or SNS. Display the menu from the planning screen and tap "Export plan as image".
Even if there are too many points to fit on one screen, all will be exported as a listed image. Also, the detailed information of the point at the bottom of the screen is not displayed. An image listing the points will be generated.
You can see the saved image from the photo app.
1.3. Imprt / Download plan
You can use the published plan file. Save the plan file to be imported in the cloud storage in advance. Brevet Manager app site introduce some of published plan in its download page. Download the plans from site page, and import it.Enter the edit state on the plan list screen and tap the import menu.
The installed cloud storage app will be displayed.
Tap the plan file you saved in advance.
When importing, you can specify how to import for speed and stay time. The published plan is created by the speed and the stay time of the person who created it. You can choose to import with the original settings or your app settings.
To download, tap the download button.
The browser will start and the download page in the app site will be displayed. Download the plan file published there.
In iOS edition, import works by displaying the downloaded file in the browser and copying it from the "Share" function to Brevet Manager. If it doesn't work, or if you are using Android edition, save it to a cloud storage such as Dropbox and then perform the import procedure.
1.4. Specify arrival / Specify departure
Default setting to creating plan is to calculate the arrival time from the travel speed and the departure time from the staying time. However, in some cases, you may want to specify the arrival time and calculate the travel speed back, or you may want to specify the departure time regardless of the staying time. It is also possible to make such settings.
The direction of the arrow displayed on the screen indicates the calculation method. Normally, the value on the right is calculated based on the setting on the left.
You can change the settings by tapping the arrow. Tap the arrow in the arrival area. Normally, "Specify speed, calculate arrival", but let's try to calculate the speed back from arrival time. Tap the "Specify Arrival, calculate speed".
The arrows have been reversed and the editable item has changed from speed to arrival time.
If you set the arrival time to 13:15, the required travel speed is calculated to be 22.5km / h.
With the default "Specify speed" setting, if a change occurs at an earlier point, the arrival time of subsequent points will also be changed.
With this "Specify arrival" setting, the arrival time remains the same even if the previous point is changed. Changes to the previous point will be reflected in the speed of movement to this point. We have fixed the stay time at the previous point to 25 minutes and delayed the departure time by 15 minutes, but the arrival time at this point does not change. However, the movement speed was affected, and it became a plan to drive at 27.7km / h.
Try changing the departure time setting in the same way. Specify the departure time and set it to calculate the staying time.
The stay time is now calculated back from the departure time and arrival time. If the departure time is 17:30, the staying time will be 30 minutes.
You can make more diverse plans by using the arrival time specification and departure time specification, but changes at points before that are not reflected in the time to the point where the time is specified, and as a result, the finish time Will not change. Please note this point. Also, please note that there may be cases where the running speed and staying time are unrealistic.
1.5. Set custom Open time / Close time
The Open and Close time of the point are calculated automatically by setting the distance. If it is an atypical brevet or is used for purposes other than brevet, you can manually set the Close time in each case.
Since the Close time is directly linked to the success or failure of the finish, be sure to check it against the time stated on the cue sheet before executing the plan.
Once you specify the time, the time is fixed and will not be automatically recalculated even if you change the point distance. To have it automatically recalculated again, enter the time edit state and select "Reset to default".
1.6. "0 min" stay
If the stay time is set to "0 minutes", special processing is performed to calculate the arrival time at that point, and 1 minute is applied to the "rounding up unit of arrival time" regardless of the settings of the app. A note indicating this is displayed on the screen.
This is effective when you want to automatically record only the transit time using the automatic arrival detection function. In order to record automatically, it is necessary to create a point for that. However, every time such a point is added, the error of the rounding up unit will be added to the finish time.
By specifying a stay time of 0 minutes for such points, this round-up unit setting is canceled, the arrival time is calculated in 1-minute units, and it is possible to reduce noise in estimating the total travel time. is.
Please see the setting screen page for the explanation about the rounding up unit of the arrival time.
1.7. Point coordinate and course GPX file
Each point can have its GPS location information. If you save the GPS location information, the "weather forecast" and "automatic arrival detection" functions will work.
Select the target point and tap the Pin icon button in the point information view. If the GPS coordinates have not yet been set, a gray icon will be displayed.
The map screen is displayed. Buttons related to GPS coordinates are arranged on this screen.
① Set the center part of the screen as the GPS position of the point
② Delete the currently set GPS position
③ Scroll the screen to display the currently set GPS position
④ Scroll the screen to display your current location
⑤ If the course track file is loaded, display the entire course on the screen.
Align the point position with the center of the screen and tap the button ① to set the GPS position.
When you return to the planning screen, the GPS icon of the point turns green and you can see that the GPS position is saved.
The above method is the basic operation to set the GPS position.
However, if you load the track file of Brevet route, it will be very easy to set the GPS position of the point. Each point has distance information. When the track file is loaded, the distance points on the route are displayed in advance, so you can save the trouble of scrolling to the point location on the map.
Tap the GPX button in the top of screen. If the track file has not been loaded, you will see a gray icon.
The map screen is displayed. Buttons related to track files are arranged on this screen.
① Load track file
② Delete currently loaded track file
③ Scroll the screen to display your current location
④ If the track file is loaded, display the entire route on the screen.
Tap the button ① and specify the track file in which the Brevet route is recorded. The track file that can be read is a GPX format track file. GPX format route files cannot be read. Also, formats other than GPX, such as KML format, cannot be read.
Track files need to be saved in advance in cloud storage such as DropBox or iCloud. When you load the track file, the entire route will be displayed on the screen.
This point has a route distance of 60km. It identifies the 60km point from the track file and displays the location in advance. Tap the GPS coordinate button.
If the cue sheet distance information and track file information are correct, you can set the GPS position almost without scrolling the screen.
1.8. Check route distance
PCs and Secret points exist on the route, and its route distance is also clarified on the cue sheet.
In most cases, the gourmet points and sightseeing points that you are personally trying to stop by are not on the route. Even if they are on the route, its route distance is unclear.
If the truck file is loaded, it will calculate its route distance of the stop point. Let's calculate the route distance to the gourmet point at about 45km. Temporarily add point, and set the distance to 45km. Tap the GPS coordinate button to display the map screen.
Scroll the map to display the destination in the center of the screen and set the GPS position.
A red pin will appear on the screen to indicate that the position has been set as the GPS position. Then tap the red pin.
Then a balloon will appear on the route, displaying the distance of the nearest point on the route. In this case, you can see that it is the 46.3km point. Go back to the planning screen and set this distance for the point.
It is possible to calculate the distance on the route in this way. It is possible to request the calculation of the route distance even in places not listed on the cue sheet, and you can create a plan using it.
1.9. Set point title/coordinate from mapview spot (version2.2)
This is a function added from Version 2.2. In addition to the method explained in 1.7, you can now set the coordinates by tapping the spot displayed on the map screen. In addition, you can now set the point name and route distance, eliminating the need to manually enter the point name, making planning easier.
From Version 2.2, the number of icons displayed on the map screen has increased by one. The spot button on the upper right.
It is ON by default, but you can use this button to show / hide spots on the map. When setting the desired coordinates, you can hide it when the spot display is in the way. In most cases, you can leave it displayed.
Now, set the post office displayed near the center of the screen to this point. Tap the post office string on the map or its icon.
A confirmation dialog will be displayed asking if you want to register as points.
When you tap "OK", the name and coordinates of the spot displayed on the map will be registered in the point.
It is much easier to enter the point name compared to the manual input so far. There are some conditions for use this function. Please note the following points.
- This function only works when the plan is in the "edit" state. It is necessary to display the map screen after putting the plan in the "edit" state on the plan screen that calls this map screen.
- Only the point name and coordinates are set for start, finish, PC, and Secret.
- The same is true for user points, but if the GPX file is loaded, the route distance described in 1.8 is also set as point information.
The coordinates registered in Google Map as the location of the spot are registered in the point. In the case of a spot with a large area, the coordinates are often the center position of the building, and if you use those coordinates as point coordinates, the coordinates may not actually be reachable, and the automatic check-in function may not work.
For example, if you register "Imperial Palace East Garden" as a point, the coordinates near the center position will be registered as points, but since it is a place that you cannot actually reach, the coordinates will not work for automatic check-in.
In such a case, register the spot as a point once, and then reset the coordinates using the method described in 1.7.
2.0. Loading & Using Waypoints (Version2.4)
This is a function added from Version 2.4. It is now possible to read waypoint GPX files and display them on the map screen. It is also possible to add new points from the displayed waypoint markers. See the "Loading and Using Waypoints" page for more information.
2.1. Thumbnail image
The default thumbnail image is displayed according to the brevet type. You can change this image. Tap the thumbnail image.
In addition to the default icon indicating the brevet type, if any image or route track file is loaded, you can generate a thumbnail of the trajectory.
Here, I will select the GPX track.
The icon image has changed to a map image with a truck drawn. This icon is also used in the plan list and the result of executing this plan.
2.2. Weather forecast
Please see the "Weather forecast" page for an explanation for details.
2.3. Plan image for smartphone's lock screen (Version2.5) new
Please see the "Plan image for smartphone's lock screen" page for details.
