Orientation Symbol

The orientation symbol shows North direction.
6.1.4

Final Glide Symbol

The final glide symbol shows your predicted arrival altitude. Negative numbers indicate that
you are below the glide path and positive numbers indicates you are above the glide path.
In the above example the glider is 226 m above the glide path. Chevrons show the position
relative to the required glide path in percent. One arrow means 5% above or below final
glide. In route mode it is prefixed with the letter T, S, or U. Sometimes there will be
another number above in yellow colour, which is used for arrival over terrain. If we are on
final glide to a selected target but between it and the current position there is terrain which
cannot be crossed without more height, then this number will give you an estimate how
much you must climb to pass over the terrain. A red rectangle will also be shown on the
magenta line indicating the point of potential collision. In above example we have to climb
544m in order to cross terrain.

6.1.4.1 Final Glide Character Explanation

The Character "T" means ROUTE, which means final glide to finish on route. The picture
below shows we are almost on final glide for route over all remaining points.
The Character "S" means START, which means final glide to the start line.
The Character "U" means UNCOMPENSATED, which means the extra energy which you
have with the speed above best glide speed is not taken into account when calculating final
glide. It appears when you are close to the finish line. In the picture below, you would be
245 m above final glide to route finish taking into account extra kinetic energy. If finish is at
200 m, your current altitude is 436 m.
