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.Key Features

  • 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.
