Key Features
- You can create many tasks before you
takeoff. Lets say that 10 of them have the same start point. When you go
through the start point, the program begins tracking statistics for all
10 of those tasks. If you change tasks in flight, statistics are
preserved for any of the tasks. When a leg of a task is completed, you
will see speed, time on leg, altitude of arrival, etc. on the task page.
In addition at the top of the task page you will see total time on task
and average speed on task.
- For TAT's, you can drag a point around
the sector to get new distance on leg and around the task information.
When you turn in the sector, you hit the "Turn" button on the task page
and statistics are calculated from that point.
- Large text option. In the settings
screen under MapText you will see a dropdown menu for MapText size. When
you select the larger setting of 4 in a row, the text becomes quite
large. This is a very good feature for pilots with less than perfect
eyesight.
- All hardware keys are user selectable.
- Another innovative feature of flyWithCE
is "Tap and Drag" When you drag your finger across the screen the
Waypoints window will open with all waypoints in the direction you have
dragged. This is good if you are flying down a cloud street and you would
like to know what waypoints you can turn at ahead.
- Large controls (some other popular
programs on the other hand do not have this feature)
- Color coding - the background color in
all lists changes according to the waypoint status (in task and also in
goto waypoint window)
- The only program that can display final
glide parameters for two waypoints on the map screen (final glide to
next wp in task and final glide to any other waypoint)
- Since Navigator has all tasks features
it is also useful for competition pilots
- With multiple start function it is also
able to support multiple start sectors (you just declare several
identical tasks with different start sectors - when you will enter
sector program will start task)
- As I know first program that displayed
required LD to reach the waypoint
- First program that displayed airspace
list
- Support only for known data formats
(Zander, Winpilot and at the most SeeYou - tasks and waypoints) - no new
format
- Supports special GPS data sentences from
the products listed below:
- LX Navigation (LX20, Colibri, LX160,
LX5000, LX7000, LX7000pro)
- Zander (SR940, SR941)
- Borgelt B50
- Volkslogger
- Cambridge Aero Instruments 302
- Westerboer VW921, VW922
Free Version of Navigator
There is a new free version of Navigator which can connect to a GPS and be
used for simple navigation. Below is a summary of the differences
between the free version and the $150 version. Navigator Free will
read only standard NMEA GPS sentences and will not decode other sentences
that are transmitted from glider instruments (they usually include
information about pressure altitude, vario, airspeed,...). This information
is otherwise used to calculate better final glide and wind parameters.
Beside the differences in this table all other features are supported in
Navigator and Navigator Free.
