Compass s.r.l. User manual C-Pilot PRO
These indications allow you to realise immediately if you can clear an obstacle or you will need to
climb more.
The altitude of the point (+) where you will touch the ground, is numerically shown in the "Altitude at
end of glide" display field.
While crossing a valley, for example, the "+" symbol will tell you where you will meet the next ridge.
The display field "Altitude at end of glide" will tell you at which altitude you will be, allowing you to
evaluate whether your arrival altitude is enough to find a good climb or it is more convenient to climb
more before crossing the valley.
The distance to the point indicated by the symbol "+" is shown by the display field "Distance at end
of glide".
Figure 39: glide-over-terrain arrival line.
You can configure the map in such a way that the "+" symbol leaves a blue trace on the ground, with
a persistence of approximately six seconds (Figure 39). While turning in a thermal, for example, the
blue trace will show you the area and the waypoints that you can glide to.
To enable this option, tick the "Show arrival line over terrain" checkbox in the map-setup page
(see page 66).
Glide to next waypoint
Even the glide along the direction to a waypoint, if a goto is active, is calculated depending on the
terrain of the area if the option "Show line to next waypoint" is enabled (see page 66).
In this case, your glide is drawn with a white line with black borders where your glide is calculated to
be above ground level and with a red line with white borders where it is below ground level.
