Routing
A route can be generated from an old track or by using the import function - this
needs a PCX file from a track or a route (*.trk or *.rte - on 3rd generation
hardware you may use also *.gpx or *.kml).
Please use only files in this formats:

The flags points to the end of the route. When a route is started and there is a
nearer point than the start point the program asks for the entry point. So it's
possible to do only a part of a route.
All file import or export uses the directory ?:/Nokia/Others/AFTrack
In the version for the 3rd generation the import for GPX tracks or routes is also
available. The files are found in ?:\Data\Others\AFTrack.
Map support and calibration
First load a map from a place in the phone or the memory card. The file is not
transfered to AFTrack. The program only stores the map information. The
maps can be in jpg, gif or bmp format. The GPS values are use direct so the
map date has to be WGS84.
The second thing is the calibration of the map. Enter the calibration dialog over
the menu, select at least two points on the map and define this points manually
or use the current position for it. The map is only calibrated when the 'save'
menu is selected. Don't keep the calibration point to near to each other.
A good source to solve the calibration problems is for me the TerraServer. The
sat pictures helps to find some special calibration points and it coordinates. Or
try infosports.com a small geo coder (25th April 2006).
For moving around in the map use the navigation button. Switch between 1
point or 22 point moving by pressing the * key
Notice: Only BMP, TIF and BSB can be bigger in size then the phone memory.
Normally the bitmap should have only 8-bit color to save space and should be
with no compression.
The usable chart size belongs to the ram size of the phone (Nokia 3650 4MB
Ram, 6600 8 MB). A map uses this size: a Gif file (300 KBytes file size) and
866x502 pixels uses around 900KBytes of space in the 1:1 view. Only the bsb
