GLOSSARY

The following terms are used throughout the documentation as well as Loadstone GPS itself.

point

In Loadstone GPS, a point is a specific place on the earth's surface, defined by its latitude and longitude, expressed in degrees in decimal format with an accuracy of 7 decimal places. The program enables a user to associate a textual string of alphanumeric characters to a point - making it easier to recognise.

waypoint

A "waypoint" is a name for a point that is used for navigational purposes.

point of interst (POI)

A "point of interst" is a name for a point that may be of interest to the user.

checkpoint

A "checkpoint" is a point that has been identified by the user of Loadstone GPS as having a special significance. In Loadstone GPS, a checkpoint is often used to make (part of) a route.

Although Loadstone-GPS is free to use, it has used up thousands of development and testing hours since February 2004. In order for us to continue funding this project, adding features, improving functionality, and strengthening the support and documentation we need your help.

Please consider making a donation (Large or small - any amount is gratefully received) and will ensure development of this project continues well into the future.
