Flymaster GPS - GPS Elements; Graphical Elements

2 Flight Mode
The Flymaster GPS has two main working modes, namely Flight mode, and Menu mode. Flight mode
is used during ight, and this allows the user to see information such as Altitude, Speed, or Vario. The
GPS can have up to 16 dierent pages (see Figure 2.1) in memory. Each page corresponds to a dierent
screen, which can be completely congured by the user. A set of 16 pages is called a Layout. Once a
Layout containing multiple pages has been dened, the user can congure one function key to switch page
(see Section 4.8.12 for some page examples) in Flight Mode . Pages can also be switched automatically
using triggers (see Section 4.8.6 ).
Note: If the active page includes a Map (Task Map, or Airspaces Map) S2 key will switch page.

Screen layout can be congured by the user using a free application, called Flymaster Designer which can
be downloaded from the Flymaster website (www.ymaster.net). This intuitive tool allows the user to
create an unlimited number of layouts, which can be saved to the computer, uploaded to the instrument,
and even shared with other Flymaster users. See the Designer user manual, available on the website for
more information about the Designer tool.
Designing a Layout consists of inserting a set of objects, called Elements , in the desired position, and with
the desired dimensions, in each of the available 16 pages. The Designer works by what you see is what
you get . This means that when you insert a element in a page, and after uploading the layout to the
instrument, you will see exactly the same thing on the GPS screen.
Note: If a Layout is uploaded to the GPS the previews layout is deleted (all pages are deleted).
There are several elements available for the GPS which are presented in the following section.
