schéma de route


Explanation:
Je comprends qu'il y a des routes (1000) composées de max. 50 waypoints chacune, pour un total de 30.000 waypoints, pour 1000 routes, donc des routes assez précises (ratio de 30/1, maximum 50/1).

Si il y a 5000 quickpoints pour 1000 routes (ratio 5/1), ma compréhension est que les quickpoints schématisent le routing.

Exemple pour un vol Paris-Lagos, il y aurait quelques waypoints en France dont le dernier est "Marseille", puis traversée Méditerrannée à travers waypoints "Palma", puis "Alger", "Constantine" jusqu'à Lagos : plusieurs dizaines de Waypoints entre Paris et Lagos donc.

Je comprends les Quickpoints comme des Waypoints plus schématiques, avec moins de finesse : Paris, Alger, Niamey, Lagos (4).

QuickPoint


Explanation:
SORRY [ :-( ], but here I suppose there are two options: to translate into a rather "unfortunate" or "poor" French equivalent (Cyril's proposal as "Point Rapide" is in any case ok for the French version... et le "moins pire"); or to keep it as is, since it seems to be commonly used by specialized companies (GPS) and French-speaking seafarers in its English version QuickPoint.

Example sentence(s):
  • Modification de TerraSync Studio et le gestionnaire de configuration pour être compatibles avec la nouvelle version de TerraSync (en particulier la gestion des QuickPoint)

neutral  Cyril Tollari: Pas ma proposition, mais bien la terminologie employée sur le site du fabricant. J'ai une préférence pour une autre traduction, car d'autres sites utilisent deux termes français acceptables pour ce concept, mais ce fabricant a sa propre terminologie
