Sun Compass V2.4:


What is new in Version 2.4 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 10 degrees scale is now following the NORTH-arrow !
In V2.3 the scale ever begins at 0 degrees.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was new in Version 2.3 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I added a simple 10 degrees-scale!
This is probably the last version! I hope so.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What was new in Version 2.2 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Longitude:
You have to define the longitude in the L-Field at the bottom of the screen.
For example:
Berlin in Germany has the longitude: EAST 13 deg XX' XX''
The value of the L-Field is now: 13E
If you've entered 13E, please tap now on the middle of the screen,
to activate it.

Some other examples: London 0E or 0W, Tunis 10E
                     Charleston 80W, New Orleans 90W

The Minutes & Seconds will not have any effect.
Please enter your longitude, and the compass will work correct.

The Night-Mode (see V2.1) will have no effect anymore.The compass will work
the whole day.

In the pulldown-menu I've now added a feature: Polarstar !
A picture shows, how to find the polarstar.
In direction to the polarstar, ther is the NORTH.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


What was new in Version 2.1 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Night-Mode you'll see, how you can locate the polar-star.
Where the polar-star is, there is the NORTH!
Night-Mode is between 21 to 4 o'clock.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


What was new in Version 2.0 ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can choose between the northern or southern hemisphere.
You can activate or deactivate the Daylight-Saving-Time (DST).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Were is the NORTH ???
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With this program you can simply determine the NORTH-DIRECTION.
You only need your Pilot and the sun!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


How to practice?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn your Pilot in direction to the sun, but hold your Pilot horizontal.
Now, you can read the North-Direction on the screen !
The Pilot is calculating the North-Direction every minute automaticly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you live in europe choose the N-symbol by tapping on the lower-left-
corner-globe-symbol. (northern hemisphere)
If you live in afrika choose the S-symbol by tapping on the lower-left-
corner-globe-symbol. (southern hemisphere)

If you have set the pilot-time to daylight-saving-time (+1 hour), please
tap on the lower-right-corner-DST-symbol and activate DST-ON,
(this will correct the compass).
