Speed measurement (with optional sensor)

Units: km/h / kts / mph Range: 0 km/h to 120 km/h - Resolution 1 km/h / 1 kt / 1 mph Calibration: ±50%

GPS

GPS-Receiver with 48 channels Position determination at 1 Hz, independent of selected recording interval

Routes

Capacity: 1 route, with up to 50 waypoints Entry: Selection from waypoints list Race route: Start time, number of start gates, start gate interval time

Navigation

Units for distance: km / miles Go to waypoint (direction graphic and numeric, distance) Route with manual or automatic rotation through waypoints (graphic direction to next and subsequent waypoint, numeric direction to next waypoint, distance to next waypoint) Race routes with start assistant (exit and entry cylinders) Optimized race routes: shortest way to goal through all turnpoint cylinders (in preparation) Wind direction Wind speed Speed over ground Current glide ratio (L/D) Required glide ratio (L/D) to next turnpoint Last thermal (direction graphic and numeric, distance)

Airspace support

Import of OpenAir files Indication of direction and distance (horizontal) to nearest three restricted airspaces Indication of vertical distance to nearest three restricted airspaces (in preparation) Warning before entering restricted airspace Navigation aid for quick exit of restricted airspace Automatic updates of airspace data (in preparation)
