Course and radial selection is done by touching and swiping gesture up or down at the left or right of the compass ring.

Below the main indicator the name of the currently selected waypoint is displayed as well as distance from the waypoint (great

circle) and GPS accuracy. You can use any kind of waypoint (Airports, VOR, NDB, etc) with the VOR instrument (whereas a real life VOR indicator requires radio signals from VOR, VOR/DME or VORTAC transmitters).

You can select a new waypoint from the database with the blue

disclosure button at the bottom part of the instrument. Please read <u>[[Select a waypoint from the database|«Selecting waypoints from the database»]]</u> for more information about it.

The VOR instrument uses GPS data to display the bearing to a waypoint.
The top part is an emulated VOR indicator. The white needle (CDI, Course deviation indicator) will display the current deviation up to +/- 12 degrees relative to the selected radial to or from the course to the selected waypoint.
