Thermal Ball
Another useful feature of the Navigation Circle Element is the thermal core ball. This map corresponds to a
black dot which is shown inside the inner navigation wheel (together with the navigation arrows).During a
thermal climb the LIVE C keeps track of the strongest climb values point for each 50m layer. The point of
strongest lift is then graphically represented by the black ball in the inner Navigation Circle, showing where
the thermal core is relative to the pilot's position. The position of the dot (thermal core) is constantly
updated as the pilot moves. When the pilot is over 300m from the thermal core the dot will be at the edge of
the circle. As the pilot moves closer to the thermal core the dot will move towards the centre.
Wind Flag
The external circle contains a small Flag which indicates the Wind Direction relative to the pilot direction
(direction the wind is coming from). For example, if the pilot is facing the wind then the Flag is on the top of
the circle. In the example of the figure above the wind is blowing from North slightly North-East.
