The Nav XL allows the pairing of a Bluetooth device.
Case 1 : I want to be connected to the Syride app (live tracking, receive weather reports, automatically send my track...)
Case 2 : I want to be connected to a third party application (for example XCTrack) to forward the GPS and barometric data of the Nav XL sensors.
Case 3 : I want to be connected to the Syride app and for example to an external bluetooth device (to come in the futur.
Here's how to pair your instrument:
Go to the Bluetooth menu of the instrument (page "B"). This page can display 3 different statuses depending on whether the Bluetooth is inactive / active but not paired / active and paired with a device.
If you wish to pair a device, click on the central button to access the Bluetooth menu. Select the pairing mode you wish to use (third party app or Syride app) and click on the central button. If you are already paired with another device, it will be disconnected.
Your Nav XL is now ready to be paired from the application menu.

About the Bluetooth features :
- Do not pair the instrument with the Bluetooth menu of your phone. Pairing should be done from the application you intend to use (Syride App, XCtrack, Flyskyhy…). If you have difficulties to pair, make sure the Nav XL hasn’t been paired in the Bluetooth menu of your phone (and if so, please delete the pairing).
- Make sure to grant all required right the the app you want to use. Please exclude the app from the any Energy economy mode or similar.
- Pairing is only needed once or after you’ve changed Bluetooth mode. Then your instrument will automatically connect to the last connected device.
- Livetracking, weather reports and automatic flight upload can only work if the instrument is connected to the Syride app on your phone. Your phone must also be able to exchange data with the Syride server, which means there must be a mobile network.
- Live only activates when the track is being recorded. To use the live tracking without being in flight, force the recording (see "VII. Configure options").
- To display wind reports, you must configure your screens and add the weather station items you need (see "IX. Customizing the display and the vario").
- If you have issues running the app in the background with some Android phones, please check this page for best settings to avoid some manufacturers OS behaviors:
- Private live can be configured from the application or from the instrument, it is only visible to users who have a link with a key. This link is visible on the "My account" page of the Syride.com site:
