    • Load File...

      Sets the duration over which readings are taken before averaging when mapping a buoy position.

    • Stakeout Mode...
      Enters a mode in which the coordinates for a "Start Position" and "Direction" can be set and which Sure-Path then uses to create a new course from scratch. Further info...
    • Full Homologation Check -
      Carries out a full check on all buoy and camera placements according to IWWF Rules. For tournament, the data should still be exported to a sanctioned homologation program (see next item).
    • Transfer to PC Data Transfer Utility -
      Exports the current survey data to a PC so that it can be imported into a homologation program for official homologation prior to tournament.
    • File Transfer ID...
      When transferring survey files from one rover to another, this user-set ID needs to be the same on both rovers. Further info...
    • Enable File Transfers...

    • Send Transfer File...
      Initiates the sending of a survey file from a rover. Further info...
    • Share File...
      Shares a survey file to an external app on the device such as GMail or WhatsApp. This allows backups external to the device, and coupled with the next function, allows import and export of a survey file without physically connecting the device to a PC. Further info...
    • Import File from Shared Folder...
      Allows a survey file to be imported from a previously specified "Safe Shared" folder on the device. Further Info...
    • Clear All Values (Keeps filename)
      Clears all current GPS co-ordinates from memory but keeps the current filename the same so that as you remark buoy positions, they will be saved under the same filename.

    • About Sure-Path...
      Displays the Sure-Path version number and a link to the version history.

  • Boat Lane Screen
    • Driver Login...
      Allows a driver who has pre registered at the IWWF Drivers Portal (www.drivers.ski) to Login. Whilst logged in and whilst Scoring Mode is set to WaterskiConnect, all passes are stored on the WaterskiConnect server and are subsequently available for review by the driver (and possibly authorised officials).
    • Tournament Settings...
      Goes to a sub menu showing the items most needed for Tournament.
    • Select Course...
      Selects which survey file to load and use for boat lane tracking.
    • Dual Courses (On/Off)
      Sure-Path can hold two boat lanes in memory and can toggle between them if this setting is enabled.
    • Boat Lane Preferences...
      Opens the Boat Lane Preferences screen. Further info...
    • Send to Desktop Viewer
      Sends all the pass data for the current date to the Desktop Database Viewer
    • Export as CSV
      Exports the current boat lane path as a CSV format file for analysis by other software on a PC. This is a very cumbersome method at present and will be made much easier in the not too distant future.
