ArcMapNav.dll v1.3 - README

This is a .NET assembly that works as a plugin for ESRI's
ArcMap.  The plugin is designed to enable ROV users to record
vehicle positions and comments (called Markpoints) during ROV 
operations.

It establishes realtime navigation data feeds from MBARI's UDP 
servers which also provide data to MBARI's DataProbe application.  
Ship and ROV positions and headings are used to draw symbols of 
the vehicles on a map display.  Markpoints can be created and are 
saved to automatically named shapefiles in a directory chosen on
the Setup window.

There are 6 tools in the ArcMapNav Toolbar:

1. Setup window: Open to establish connection to navigation 
   server and adjust parameters for data display and markpoint
   recording.
2. Turn on and off ROV real-time navigation layer
3. Turn on and off Ship real-time navigation layer
4. Create Markpoint at mouse location when click on map
5. Display Range and Bearing between 2 points chosen with the mouse
6. Create Markpoint for the Centering vehicle

To configure your ArcMap application to use ArcMapNav select
Tools -> Customize... and check the ArcMapNav box.  A dockable 
toolbar window will appear for your use in ArcMap.  

To get started click the first button which brings up the Setup 
window.  After the connection is established click the ROV and 
Ship buttons to add the real-time navigation layers.  The Setup
window must remain active, but it can be minimized.
