Importing A Route - Kanardia Nesis III User Manual

Nesis III User's Manual
• A list of route waypoints is displayed on the right. A touch on a waypoint
name allows you to select a different waypoint, which will replace the
existing one.
• A swipe over waypoint name to the left or to the right will remove the
waypoint from the route.
• A touch on the route title opens the actions window. The following
actions are displayed:
– Save & Fly saves the route and activates it.
– Rename opens a window where a different name can be assigned to
the route. Default name consist from the departure and destination
airfield designations. See also section 4.5.6.
– Reverse will reverse all the waypoints in the route. See also section
4.5.8.
– Clear removes all waypoints from the route.
• A touch on the Metar tab will collect current METAR information from
airfields close to the route and display this in a list form. Either an
Internet access or an active FIS-B link connection is required for this
command. Figure 39 shows an example.
Estimated elapsed time (EET) is shown next to each waypoint on the route.
EET is calculated based on the cruising speed, which is defined in section 8.3.3
on page 89. The route title also shows total route distance and estimated fuel
consumption.
These values are just a rough estimate. No extra climb time, descend time
and traffic pattern times are added in the calculations. The same is true for
fuel consumption estimate – no extra fuel for climb or any reserves are taken
into account.

Importing a Route

Nesis can also import a route, which was previously prepared with some route
planner. The route file must be saved in Garmin GPX format. This means
that any route planner, which can save/export route in GPX format can be
used.
• Prepare a route, save it in GPX format and copy it to USB stick.
