3.9.1
GPS STATUS INFORMATION
• The GPS icon signal has different meanings:
o Static GPS icon = Correct GPS FIX (GPS position available)
o Blinking GPS icon = poor GPS signal (valid GPS position NOT yet AVAILABLE)
3.9.2
LATITUDE & LONGITUDE COORDINATES
 The latitude and longitude coordinates are shown on top, referenced to map datum WGS84.
3.9.3
LATITUDE & LONGITUDE COORDINATES OPTIONS
 There are 4 different coordinate formats available, to choose from:
DMS
= degrees, minutes and seconds (dd° mm’ ss.s) - default
DMM
= degrees and minutes (dd° mm.mmm’)
UTM
= Universal Transverse Mercator (utm x, y, zone).
DDD
= decimal degrees (dd.ddddd)
To set the preferred DMM, DMS, UTM or DDD formats, go to: MENU \
ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 23 CORD.
3.9.4
GPS SIGNAL QUALITY (HDOP)
 The HDOP value represents the weakening of GPS signal; lower values mean good precision.
3.9.5
GPS ALTITUDE
 GPS altitude (“ALT GPS”) represents the height over sea level given by the GPS system.
3.9.6
GPS DIRECTION (TRK)
 GPS direction (“TRK”) represents the aircraft’s direction relative to the ground.
3.9.7
GPS GROUND SPEED
 The GPS ground speed is the aircraft’s speed relative to the ground (“Gs”).
3.9.8
REAL TIME NAVIGATION MANAGER / SKIP WAYPOINT
 The central part of the GPS INFO page shows the navigation progress of an active route in real time; you see the
waypoint list of the active route, where the current waypoint is highlighted in "reverse" (white over black).
 In case navigation to a single waypoint is active, the central part of GPS
INFO
page will show only the name of
the current waypoint.
 The "
Skip Waypoint
" function allows you to choose to navigate to a different waypoint (previous or next):
Only from the
GPS INFO
page, with an active route,
LONG PRESS
the button; the list will appear, press the
button to jump to the previous Waypoint or press to jump to the next Waypoint. Press to cancel.
 The Digifly AIR also has a shortcut for the “Skip Waypoint” function, from any of the navigation pages. In order to
activate it, the "
Skip Waypoint Shortcut
" parameter
(ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 24 SKPW
) needs to be activated.
Keep in mind
that this will change the functions of some buttons:
With the parameter set to
OFF
= Shortcut disabled (default),
LONG PRESSING
the “ARROW DOWN” button changes
the volume level and
LONG PRESS
of the “OK” button sets the A2 altimeter to zero.
However, with the parameter set to
ON
= Shortcut enabled and, when a route is activated both for competition
or XC,
LONG PRESSING
the “ARROW DOWN” and “OK” buttons, will respectively work as skipping a waypoint back
and forward buttons, without having to go to the Info GPS page first.
