XII. Navigation

To create a navigation route, the easiest way is to use our online « Route maker » tool. Simple, quick and efficient, it ables you to build a route in a few secondes.

To build a route with the « Route maker »:

1. Go to http://www.syride.com/en/route

2. Build your route in a few clicks and then download it to your computer.

1. Turn-on your Nav and connect it to your computer.

2. On the SYS PC Tool, click the « Send a file to my instrument » icon.

1. Select the route file you’ve downloaded before.

2. To activate the route in your instrument, go on the the Navigation menu in the Nav, then « Load a route ». The route will show on the MAP screen. Think about adding the indicators you wish to use (e.g. Waypoint information) to your screen configuration (cf IX. Customize your screens).

3. To skip a waypoint without reaching it, you can push the central button until the sound signal.

You can build a route from your instrument as well:

1) You first need to have some waypoints in your instrument. Create a waypoint on the Nav, with menu “Navigation” (screen 7), then “Create waypoint”. The instrument will ask for a waypoint name, GPS coordinate, and altitude (optional). If you already have a waypoint file, you can upload it to your instrument with the SYS PC Tool (« Send a file to my instrument » icon). The SYS PC Tool only accept OziExplorer file format.

2) Then from the Nav, go to the "Navigation menu", then « Create route »:

- First, name your route.

- When selecting the first waypoint, you can choose between 3 modes: « Waypoint » (a simple waypoint), « START IN » and « START OUT » where a start time must be given.

- When selecting the waypoint, you can setup a radius (set to 400m by default, according to FAI rules), as well as a minimum altitude.

- Add several waypoints if needed.

- You can select a « GOAL CYLINDER » or a « GOAL LINE » for the last waypoint.

- Or select « END ROUTE » if you want to end your route with a simple waypoint.
