Navigation Settings

Turnpoint Size -

The default turnpoint cylinder size is set in this menu. The size of the cylinder can be
changed by scrolling through the numbers using the UP and DOWN keys. Pressing ENTER moves to the
next digit. This value is used as the default cylinder size during task creation.

Datum -

Two datum models can be set on the LIVE C . Options available are WGS 84 and FAI sphere. At
the start of any competition, be sure to check what Datum is used by the scoring system to ensure that the
correct distances are being reported.

Start Speed -

The start speed is one of the Start Flight conditions, and it is used to define the minimum
GPS speed, in Km/h, that should be reached in order to initiate the flight. Note that the Start Flight event is
important to many other functionalities, so care should be taken when setting this value. For example, if Auto
Silent is on, the vario will only beep after the flight starts. The track data is also only saved after the flight
starts. If set to OFF the flight will start immediately after GPS fix position is acquired. This setting is
only recommended in very exceptional occasions like walk-and-fly activities, because will produce a
track log each time the instrument is turned on.

FAI comp -

Due to new FAI (CIVL) requirements regarding flight certification, when this setting is set to
YES, the instrument is only ready to fly when there are at least 30 seconds of track log recorded with 3D
GPS position before actually taking off . As long this requirement is not met, a message appears on the
instrument with the message "WAIT" informing you not to take off. The same happens after landing, that the
same 30 seconds of track log must be saved, and the instrument will only turn itself off after fulfilling this
requirement.
