PILOT Console
At the top of the Pilot interface is a menu bar that allows you to manage how you view the data in Pilot.
Choosing map projection
These three buttons let you choose between North Polar (top button), simple cylindrical (middle button), and South Polar (bottom button) map projections for navigating the planetary target.
Latitude Type, Longitude Direction and Longitude Degrees
These drop-downs will not effect the map. They will only effect how the latitude and longitude are reported. The map will always be presented in 0 to 360 positive east. The drop-downs enable the user to alter the reporting of longitude direction (Positive East or Positive West), the longitude degrees (either 0 to 360 or -180 to 180), and the latitude type (planetographic or planetocentric).
Footprint Key
Total, Page, and Rendered Footprints
The *total* counter reports the amount of hits found. The page drop-down will page through the result set. The *rendered* counter reports how many footprints are rendered on the map. To avoid clutter, PILOT limits the results to one hundred hits per page.
