List of indicators
- 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.
- The graphic 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.
- 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 large wind arrow in the compass rose.
