How does BlindSquare manage heading ranges that nest, one within the other?
If you have heading ranges that NEST, one within the other, BlindSquare will always look at the smallest range as having priority.
In the illustration of a compass rose above we illustrate two heading ranges.
- 20 degrees on each side of North. This would be expressed as 340-20 in BlindSquare BPS.
- 35 degrees on each side of North. This would be expressed as either "0" in BlindSquare BPS or 325-35
In this example there is a 40 degree nesting between the records. BlindSquare will always give preference to the smaller heading range in these conditions. As a result:
- If the traveler was facing (or the device turned) in the direction of 340-20 degrees the messaging from record #1 would be used.
- If the traveler was in facing between 325-340 OR 20-35 degrees, the messaging for the BPS Record #2 would be used.
