XCSoar User Manual
This page also shows three forms of altitude difference (additional
altitude required to reach the waypoint at the safety altitude) for
the corresponding waypoint:
Alt diff Mc 0 : Altitude difference at Mc setting of 0
Alt diff Mc safety : Altitude difference at the abort/safety MacCready setting
Alt diff Mc current : Altitude difference at the current MacCready setting
Task menu
This page contains a column of buttons allowing various actions
to be performed:
Goto (and clear task) : cancels the current task and sets the waypoint as the single
active waypoint in the task.
Replace in task : replaces the active waypoint in the task.
Insert in task : inserts the waypoint before the active waypoint in the task.
Append to task : adds the waypoint to the end of the task.
Remove from task : removes the waypoint from the task.
Set as new home : sets the waypoint as the home airfield.
Set teamcode : sets the waypoint as reference waypoint for team code coor-
dinates.
It is a good idea to set your home waypoint from the waypoint
details dialog. This causes XCSoar to start up at the home location
regardless of whether a GPS fix is received.
