It has the standard two altimeters, one of which can be set to zero at take off. It uses the GPS for vario operation. This means the vario has 1 to 2 seconds of delay compared to a real Alti-vario device which gives up/down info in real time. In practice this slight delay isn't a problem and the software works remarkably well in normal lift. In very slight 'scratching' lift and small thermals it isn't so accurate but still works ok. The software uses internal magnetic sensor to give real-time, accurate magnetic compass HEADINGS. GPS Track and GPS Groundspeed is also shown. A MayDay option is also part of the program - you can quickly dial your emergency phone number and view your location after an accident. Location coordinates can be in Lat/Long or in UK Ordnance Survey Grid reference (which is used by the British emergency services).
