Compass s.r.l. User manual C-Pilot PRO
After adding at least the first waypoint as described in the previous paragraph, select "show map"
from the "task menu". You will be shown a map centered on the waypoints that are already in the
task. All the waypoints loaded in the memory of the device will also be shown.
Please remember that you can change the map scale by using the virtual buttons described at page
65.
Touch the waypoint that you wish to add with your fingertip. C-Pilot EVO will ask you the details of
the waypoint by means of the panel shown in Figure 19. When you press "ok", the waypoint will be
added to the task.
Take into account that you can always switch between map-based and list-based task editing.
If the point of the map that you have touched is considered ambiguous, in the sense that it is close
to several waypoints, C-Pilot EVO will show you a list of such waypoints (Figure 21) allowing to
choose. This allows adding waypoints without changing the map zoom.

If you "touch" a waypoint that is already part of the task, C-Pilot PRO will ask you whether you wish
to add it again, to remove it from the task, or edit its properties.
Route optimisation
When you start a task, C-Pilot PRO calculates the optimised path that minimises the overall
distance. In a competition, this often translates in an advantage even larger than one kilometre.
The optimised point on the active cylinder is shown with a triangle, pointing inward if the waypoint
has to be validated on entry, or outward in the opposite case.
Figure 22 shows a real flight situation occurred during a competition. The optimised path suggested
by C-Pilot PRO is drawn as a black line, while the path that you would follow aiming at the centres of
