In addition to the fields mentioned above, this screen also has some “hidden” fields so you can customize your screen according to your preferences.
22. Chronometer: to see the chronometer simply click on the Time to Ideal field.
23. Compass: to see the compass simply click on the Sub-stage Speed field and it shows the direction in degrees you are heading.
24. Reference countdown: to see the reference countdown click on the sub-stage countdown field. If you are using the rally's digital roadbook or if you manually enter references for a stage in the editor, this field shows the meters remaining to the next reference.
Features and advantages:
- The roadbook scrolls automatically when it reaches the mileage of a reference. But if you get lost and have to locate a vignette, the automatic scrolling is disabled until you re-enable it by clicking the yellow button that appears.
- There are colors in the vignettes to facilitate visualization. Red for vignettes where the distance is less than 80 m, yellow for vignettes between 80 m and 200 m, and white for vignettes whose distance is greater than 200 m.
- Sound alerts to notify you if you are behind or ahead.
- Odometer adjustment that should be done at each reference you find for a better score.
