TRX GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS
Your TRX7 account syncs seamlessly
with TRX Web and all TRX mobile apps.
This glossary will familiarize you with all
functions associated with your TRX7 and
all applications accessible with your TRX
user account.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all
interface terms are applicable to the
TRX7 device and all TRX mobile apps.
Account Profile: overarching term for
data associated with a user's account,
including user name, password, saved
trails/trips, social media accounts, etc.
Achievements: aggregate of badges
earned by a user for riding a certain
amount of miles, riding in specific
locations, riding in specific sponsored
events, etc.
Active Track: the real-time tracking of a
user's geographic location.
All Trails: trails that appear orange
when a user pans across the map in TRX
Web.
Backtrack: allows a user to return to the
beginning of their Active Track. When
selected, the user's track is highlighted,
guidance arrows mark the route ahead
of the user's current position, and child
waypoints alert the user along the Active
Track. Voice notifications alert the user at
the end of the Active Track.
Basemap: lowest layer of the map that
provides geographic context to orient
users on the map.
TRX users can toggle between two
basemap views:
Map View: shows road network,
topography, selected land use areas such
as forest and park boundaries, street
labels, populated areas, etc.
Satellite View: shows aerial imagery of
the earth's surface (TRX Web only).
Bearing Line Navigation: user selects
a destination waypoint. TRX displays
a highlighted bearing line to the
destination at all times. All Trail and
Track types user has turned ON appear
on the Basemap. No guidance arrows,
Child Waypoint pop-ups, or audio
guidance is provided, but the distance to
the user's destination (as the crow flies)
is displayed.
Child Waypoint: a waypoint recorded
either during an active track, when a
user attaches the waypoint to a Trip,
Track, or Trail that already exists, or
when a user attaches the waypoint to a
Trip or Track that they are creating but
not actively recording at the time.
Detail Waypoint: created by a user by
pausing an Active Track, selecting the
Detail Waypoint icon, and choosing a
waypoint and associated details from the
Detail Waypoint menus.
Dirt Miles: cumulative amount of miles
logged by a user when a Track is saved
to the user's account. A user can earn
Achievements for driving increasing
amounts of Dirt Miles.
