Installation

After installation of the application, at first launch, the system will ask for authorization to access location data (GPS). You should allow GPS access to Air Navigation otherwise realtime navigation functionalities will not work properly. If your device do not have an integrated GPS device, you should get some of the ones advised on page 5.

After launching Air Navigation for the first time, the map should be centered to your current location. The application has an internal waypoints database and you should see waypoints in the vicinity on the map.   Please note that NO map in the background is installed with the application. You can install a map from various free-of-charge or commercial sources in the «Map Store» module within the app or from the «Addons» page of the User Account Website. You can find more information on how to install maps/charts in the next page.

Should you wish to change length, speed or altitude units, you can do so from the «Settings» panel.

Moving Map

The moving map is the main instrument of Air Navigation. It is used for real time navigation as well as route planning or creation of user waypoints. In Air Navigation, you can create a route/waypoint directly from the moving map. It is possible to add intermediate waypoints to your current route during a flight (to avoid bad weather conditions for example).
