period, you might still want to see the thermal page. The "autozoom persistence" keeps the
thermal display active for the set duration after stopping climbing. Additionally, during this time, the
"altitude gain in thermal" will not be zeroed.
The "track persistence" allows you to set the length, in minutes, of the track log shown in the map.
When the "custom colormap" is not checked, the terrain is shaded according to a default colour
scheme that has been optimized for general usage. Also the colour scheme can be customized (see
"How to change the colour scale of the terrain maps" in the download section of the Compass
website). Several colour schemes can be created and saved in the "colormaps" folder of the USB
memory. Pressing the button on the right of "custom colormap" allows choosing your preferred
shading scheme.
The rest of the setting shown in this page can be set independently for each display.
Select the display that contains the map to be configured by pressing the yellow button labelled
"display."
The customisable parameters are:
Show track: when enabled, your trail is displayed in the map. The trail is coloured according

to the vertical velocity (red for climbing fast, cyan for climbing slowly or sinking) as the analog
variometer.
Show track in lift: if the previous option is enabled, you can choose to have your trail shown

only where you were climbing. This option makes the past thermals immediately and clearly
identifiable on the map. Finding them again is just a matter to look at the map.
Show line to next waypoint: draws a line connecting your current position to the optimised

point of the next turnpoint.
Show heading line: shows a dashed line indicating your heading. You can use it to aim

precisely to your target. If you have uploaded to the USB memory the terrain maps of you
flight area, C-Pilot PRO calculates where your glide will intersect the terrain (see page 71).
Show arrival line over terrain: If you have uploaded to the USB memory the terrain maps

of you flight area, C-Pilot EVO calculates where your glide will intersect the terrain. The
intersection points calculated in the last six seconds are shown on the map connected by a
line. It is therefore possible to identify at a glance the region that you can glide to. This option
can be enabled only if the previous (Show heading line) is enabled. Please see page 71 for
further details.
Show terrain: shows terrain on the map. Altitude is colour-coded in such a way that you

have the maximum contrast both for high mountains or small flatland hills. Terrain data must
be present in the "terrain" folder of the USB memory. (see page 85.)
Map orientation: let you choose your favourite map orientation. It can be "North up" (North

is toward the upper part of the map), "Track up" (map is rotated to that your heading is
oriented upward), "Quasi track up" (as the previous, but with smoother updates), and
"Course up" (the bearing to the next waypoint is oriented upward). Please note that the map
is always drawn "North up" before take off.
