Map can be quickly configured using this dialogue. Select map orientation in the orientation
setup.
A map can have north, east, west or south orientation. These orientations are fixed and
are not changed with glider position. Additionally to this orientation there are several more
which will rotate the map as the glider position changes:
•
Track up will always have the glider ground track in the up direction.
•
Heading up will always have glider heading in the up direction. If the compass module
is available the heading will be taken from the compass otherwise the heading is
calculated from the wind and the ground speed vectors.
•
Goal up will have target point in upper part of screen.
•
Hdg/north up is a combination of heading up and north up orientation. During
circling orientation will be north up otherwise Heading up.
If Zoom to target is checked the zoom will be automatically adjusted so that the target
point is always visible. Maximum zoom is 200 km and minimum zoom is 1 km. The check
