El VOR utiliza datos GPS para mostrar el rumbo hacia un waypoint.


La parte superior es un indicador VOR emulado. La aguja blanca (CDI, Indicador de desviación de curso) mostrará la desviación actual hasta +/- 12 grados con respecto al radial seleccionado hasta o desde el curso del waypoint seleccionado.

La selección del curso y radial se realiza al tocar y deslizar los dedos hacia arriba o abajo, a la derecha o izquierda del anillo de la brújula.

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 Search Module for more information about it.

A “NAV” warning flag will let you know that you should NOT trust the VOR indicator in the following cases:
  • No waypoint is selected for the instrument;
  • The waypoint distance is over 250 nautical miles;
  • The GPS accuracy is less than 2.5 nautical miles.



Note 1: you don't need ground speed to get accurate information on this instrument.

Note 2: remember that you will ONLY find the slipball at the bottom of the instrument on iPhone/iPod Touch devices.
