ALT 1 gives your altitude above Mean Sea Level. It is automatically calibrated by GPS.
Ground speed is given in kilometres per hour, knots, or miles per hour.
The compass rose shows your direction of flight by indicating the relative position of
True North with the symbol N. You are always flying toward the top of the compass
rose.
Last thermal shows the relative position of your last climb. If you need to return to
that thermal, turn your glider so that the indicator appears at the top of the compass rose.
Airspace shows the direction to the nearest airspace. (Feature coming soon!)
The analogue vario shows your vertical speed (climb or sink) in metres per second,
ranging from +10 m/s to -10 m/s. You may also choose feet per minute, ranging from
+20 fpm x100 to -20 fpm x100.
Vario 3.2 m/s
The integrated vario gives your vertical speed averaged over the last five seconds.
Wind direction is shown once you have flown a few 360s. Your Element will
automatically calculate the wind direction from your drift and show it as a small wind
arrow to the right of the compass rose.
When landing, keep the wind arrow pointing down. That means you are
flying into wind.
