Course tracking - The XC soaring navigation page shows the
course as a solid green line connecting the turn points. Current
bearing to the next turn point is shown as a solid white line. The
turn points are shown as yellow circles which depict the turn
cylinders. The radius of the cylinder is set by the user. A small
icon of an aircraft is in the bottom center of the page and the
course moves underneath it. At the top of the page is a < or >
icon with a number beside it. This gives the steering correction needed for the
glider to fly directly to the turn point.
Turn point tracking - Once near the turn point, the navigation
page can be zoomed in to see precisely when the turn cylinder
is penetrated. “INSIDE” message is announced at this time. This
can save a lot of time at the turn point. It also allows one to
accurately fly the longest distance through the cylinder if
conditions are favorable for that tactic.
