Graphic speed distribution curve with head- and tailwind indication, distance to turnpoint, local time and elapsed time since launch

When glide angle display is switched ON in MENU/SETTINGS/XC-SETTINGS:

Final glide calculator, turnpoint name, turnpoint altitude (AMSL), current glide angle, ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival), calculated glide to reach next turnpoint.
  
Additional information in the Map mode:
Current heading, distance and bearing to next waypoint. Map scale can be set from 2.5x2.5km to 120x120km.
Waypoint cylinder is drawn on map, and a bar at the bottom of the display helps timing turnpoint efficiency for the last 125m

Additional information in the Thermal mode:
Current heading, distance and bearing to next waypoint.
Graphic climb-rate distribution, wind compensated. Scale is 1x1km or 2x2km.

Additional information in the Vario mode:
Analogue vario bar with 0-5m/s and 5-9,5 m/s resolution, distance and heading to next turnpoint. Large digital vario display with large AMSL/AGL display,  null-able altimeter ALT0, average vario for the last 30 seconds

Additional information in the Barogram/Temperature mode:
Barogram showing the last 10 minutes +/- 500m
Thermogram averager showing last 30 seconds, +/-500m
Current air temperature

Route list:
The XC-Trainer automatically switches to the next turnpoint in the route when the turnpoint cylinder has been breached. In the Route screen you may toggle the turnpoints of the route, manually drop one turnpoint and continue to the next or add turnpoints from the turnpoint list, for your viewing in Map- or Thermalling mode

Waypoint list:
Waypoints are sorted alphabetically.
In this screen you may manually select a next waypoint, which will then take precedence over the active route

List of marked positions:
List of the 10 latest “mark/enter” positions or the start marker, to be used for distance/bearing indications in either Map or Thermal mode

Tutorial flight:
A tutorial flight of 24 minutes is available
