Direction arrow to second next waypoint:
(Not yet implemented)
In the middle of the compass rose a thick black arrow
points to the next waypoint. Under this pointer is a
transparent second pointer that points in the direction of
the second waypoint (not the current one headed to, but
the one after it). This makes sense in competitions when
the pilot wants to know ahead of time which direction to
turn after reaching the active waypoint cylinder.
6.11 Routes: Set - Delete - Alter
You can reach any stored routes by marking the menu
point Routes in the Main Setup Menu
.
Routes saved in the
COMPETINO
appear after pressing the
Enter
key
(Maximum of 20 routes). From these, you can select one of
the routes by using the
and
keys. Press
F2 (DeI
Rte)
to delete or
Enter
to alter the route. However, by
pressing the
F1
key
(Ins Rte)
a new route can be created.
With less effort Routes can be transferred with the program
Flychart 4.50 or others from your PC to the Competino.
A route is a string of waypoints (of course, the WPs have
to already be in the
COMPETINO
’s memory). Again, if a
WP is used in a route, then it can no longer be deleted.
6.11.1 Setting a New Route
After pressing the
F1
key (
lns Rte
), a name needs to be entered for the route. The cursor will
blink on the first letter of the word
“
Xxxxx”.
By using the
and
keys you may scroll to
the desired letter. By using the
key you will proceed to the next letter position, where you
can then change it, and so forth. By pressing the
Enter
key, you conclude the entry of the
route name. At this time the individual WPs need to be added. The list of the available WPs
appears in alphabetical order at the bottom half of the screen after pressing the
F1
button
(
lns Wp.).
At the same time you will see the request:
Select Waypoint No 1
. Again, by
using the
or
keys you can search for the first WP where it can be added to the route
by pressing
Enter
(which is indicated in the upper half of the screen). Press the
F1
key (
lns
Wp.
)
again. Once more the waypoint list appears and you can select the second point.
Press
Enter
to add this to the route, and so on. The highlighted waypoint (offset in black) is
always the last one entered, so the function “
lns Wp.
” will set the next WP. If you want to
insert an additional waypoint after WP1, highlight WP1, then press
F1
(
lns Wp.).
The
reference Select Waypoint No. 2 appears.
