Create Waypoint via URL

In order to help the workflow it is possible to quickly insert waypoints in the application by tapping on a specially formatted URL. The URL can be sent by E-Mail, SMS or browsed on a website.

Supported actions:

• Direct-to
• Import waypoints to user database
• Create route

The URL looks something like this: Clean: airnavpro://direct-to?coordinates=wgs84-decimal&location=46.875_7.234,0.0,WP1,Grass field Encoded query: airnavpro://direct-to?coordinates%3Dwgs84-decimal%26location%3D46.875_7.234%2C0.0%2CWP1%2CGrass%20field

It consists of:

• URL scheme: airnavpro://
• An action: direct-to
• Coordinates format: coordinates=wgs84-decimal
• waypoint(s): location=46.875_7.234,0.0,WP1,Grass field

Note: The query part of the URL has to be URL encoded in order to support special characters.

Coordinates formats:

Waypoint format For any action the waypoint can be defined with different values separated by a comma (,). Waypoints are separated by semicolons (;).

Waypoint values:

1. Coordinates
2. Elevation (in meters)
3. Waypoint ID
4. Waypoint name

A waypoint must at least contain the coordinates information. The coordinates information may be composed of two values, in this case the coordinates must be linked with a underscore (_). For example, a waypoint description for a wgs84 decimal format: 46.875_7.234

Here is a full example with elevation, ID and name data: 46.875_7.234,0.0,WP1, Antenna

Direct-to

Direct to can be achieved by formatting an URL with the "direct-to" command. Only one waypoint can be specified and it has to be in the form like :

location=waypoint

Here are some examples of direct-to URLs :

WGS84 decimal

 - airnavpro://direct-to?coordinates=wgs84-decimal&location=46.875_7.234,0.0,WP1,Grass field

WGS84 degrees minutes seconds

 - airnavpro://direct-to?coordinates=wgs84-ddmmss&location=N 12°34′56′′_W 78°12′34′′,0.0,WP1,Grass field

Swissgrid CH1903

 - airnavpro://direct-to?coordinates=swiss&location=602030.68_191775.03,0.0,WP1,Zimmerwald

Import waypoints to user database

A list of waypoints can be imported directly in the user database with a specially formatted URL with the "add-waypoints" command. A list of waypoints can be specified and it has to be in the form like :

waypoints=point1;point2;point3

Here is an example of add-waypoints URLs :

 - airnavpro://add-waypoints?coordinates=wgs84-decimal&waypoints=46.123_6.543,125.0,WP1,Grass field;47.113_7.143,225.1,WP2,Forrest;45.153_6.643,1225.0,WP3,Antenna

Create Route

A new route with a list of waypoints can be created and loaded directly with a specially formatted URL with the "new-route" command. A route name and list of waypoints can be specified and it has to have a form like: route-name=myRoute&waypoints=point1;point2;point3

Here is an example of add-waypoints URLs :

 - airnavpro://new-route?coordinates=wgs84-decimal&route-name=myRoute&waypoints=46.123_6.543,125.0,WP1,Grass field;47.113_7.143,225.1,WP2,Forrest;45.153_6.643,1225.0,WP3,Antenna
