3.11 Aircraft status dialog
The nearest landmark function, typically available via the button
menu, brings up a status message describing the name, distance
and bearing to the nearest landmark. The nearest landmark is also
reported on the aircraft status dialog.
You may find this function useful when you need to report your
location to others.
Currently the landmarks scanned are the list of waypoints. In the
future, XCSoar may also search for nearby towns and cities in the
topology database.
The aircraft status dialog shows the status of the aircraft’s locality,
and can be useful when giving position reports.
This is accessed via the menu under:
INFO . Status aircraft .
