Map Menu

Behaviour of the map is controlled through this menu.

First two entries in the menu are the usual zoom in and

zoom out commands.

Afterward, a Clear Map Trace entry is shown: This will clear

the trailing points the map draw to represent past climb rate.

By activating this entry, previous points will be forgotten and a

new trail will begin to show.

Last section of the menu is a map mode selector:

• In Map Free you are free to move the map view and inspect whatever you wish.

• In Plane On Screen the map will re-center on the transmitted position if the actual

position of the aircraft is not in the map view.

• In Plane On Center the aircraft will remain at all times at the center of the map

view. This option may be heavy in CPU load and battery drain.
