The stressful and fast-changing environment typical of a glider flight demands a simple, versatile user interface. All key performance values are displayed in compact strips that border the main screen while still preserving most of the area for the map display. This avoids the need for frequent and distracting screen switching. A single button-touch summons a simple “ribbon” menu with large clear icons that controls all frequently used functions and values. A more comprehensive text menu allows full control of less frequently used functions.

Considerable care has been taken to ensure the user interface is simple and consistent - buttons do what a pilot expects them to do. This contributes to the goal of a straightforward instrument that serves, rather than fights, the pilot. The ClearNav is highly configurable, so it can support a wide range of pilot preferences. We believe that pilots of all types and at all levels of the sport deserve an easy-to-use instrument that concentrates on meeting their specific needs and helps ensure their safety by providing complete situational awareness.
