New WP calculator - Get rid of placeholder variables
See original GitHub issueWhile trying out the new waypoint calculator, which is combined with the cache variable tab, I had somehow a hard time to understand how its used.
@eddiemuc Can we talk through the following example here:
Typical multi cache:
- Stage 1: You will find the values for x and y at this stage.
- Stage 2: Go to N 51° 21.(x+1)y5 E006° 3x.650. You will find value z there.
- Final: Go to N 51° 21.z(y+2)x E006° 3x.(z+3)y3
With the old waypoint calculator I need to fill the calculator for stage 2 and final as follows:
- Waypoint for Stage 2: N51° 21.AB5 E006° 3C.650 with A=x+1, B=y, C=x
- Waypoint for Final: N51° 21.ABC E006° 3D.EF3 with A=z, B=y+2, C=x, D=x, E=z+3, F=y
The drawback of these non global variables (lower case ones) are now, that I have to enter the values for x,y,z on each waypoint (where its required).
I would have expected, that the new approach stays the same with (in principle) the only difference, that the values of those lower case variables are now retrieved from the result/value in the variable tab. But either I don`t understand how to achieve this (which would put into question if an average user will understand the changed working mode) or its implemented in a different way (in which case I would ask why).
