-To activate Live GPS tracking you have select \mainmenuopt{View} > \mainmenuopt{Live GPS tracking}. You will get a new docked Window on the left side.
-You have 4 possible screens in this GPS tracking Window (see Figure \ref{fig:gpstrack_live}).

+\subsection{Position coordinates}
+\includegraphics[width=0.5cm,clip=true]{mActionToggleEditing} If the GPS is
+recieving signals from satellites you will see your position in latitude,
+longitude and elevation as you can see in Figure \ref{subfig:gpstrack_main}

+\subsection{GPS signal strength}
+\includegraphics[width=0.5cm,clip=true]{gpstrack_barchart} Here you can see
+the signal strenght of the satellites you are revieving signals from
+(Figure \ref{subfig:gpstrack_stren}).
-\subsection{GPS Signal Strength}
-\includegraphics[width=0.5cm,clip=true]{gpstrack_barchart} Here you can see the Signalstrenght of the Satellites you are revieving signals from (Figure \ref{subfig:gpstrack_stren}).
+\subsection{GPS polar window}
+\includegraphics[width=0.5cm,clip=true]{gpstrack_polarchart} If you want
+to know where in the sky all the connected satellites are, you have to
+switch to the polar screen (Figure \ref{subfig:gpstrack_polar}).
+You can also see the ID numbers of the satellites you are recieving signals from.

+\subsection{GPS options}
+\includegraphics[width=0.5cm,clip=true]{mActionOptions} In case of connection
+problems you can switch from \radiobuttonon{Autodetect} to \radiobuttonon{Use
+path/port below} and select the path/port your GPS receiver is connected to.
+A click on \button{Connect} again initiates the connection to the GPS
+receiver.
-\subsection{GPS Options}
-\includegraphics[width=0.5cm,clip=true]{mActionOptions} In case of connection problems you can switch from ``autodetect`` to ``Use path/port below`` and select the path/port your GPS-Reciever is connected to.
-A click on \button{Connect} again initiates the connection to the GPS-Reciever.
+With the slider \slider{GPS Cursor Size} you can shrink and grow the position
+cursor on the canvas. Activating \radiobuttonon{Auto-add vertices} within GPS
+digitizing your track will automatically be recorded in the active vector layer
+(of course the layer has to be in edit mode).
-With the Slider ``GPS Cursor Size'' you can shrink and grow the Position Cursor on the Canvas.
+With GPS map recenter you can decide in which way the canvas will be
+updated if your recorded coordinates start either to move out of canvas
+or there is any change at all.
-Activating ``Auto-add vertices`` within GPS digitizing your track will automatically be recorded in the active vector layer (of course the layer has to be in edit mode).
+Track color and width sets the color of and the width of your drawn track.
-With GPS map recenter you can decide in which way the Canvas will be updated if your recorded coordinates start either to move out of canvas or there is any change at all.
+If you want to set a feature manually you have to go back to
+\includegraphics[width=0.5cm,clip=true]{mActionToggleEditing} ''Position Coordinates''
+and click on \button{Add feature}. Also when you did not activate ''Auto-add vertices``
+and want to record vertices manually you have to go back there and
+click \button{Add vertex}
-Track Color and width sets the color of and the width of your drawn track.
