Flymaster B1 Nav

The B1-NAV high precision, combined altimeter, variometer (alti/vario) and gps.

Following the success of the Flymaster B1 and the F1&NAV+, Flymaster Avionics now launches a new addition to its family of high quality flight instruments, the B1-NAV. This new instrument adds to the features of the B1, all the navigation features needed for cross country and competition flights.

The B1-NAV integrates the latest GPS technology that allows ultra fast start-up (even with weak signals). The high precision GPS provides 4 positional fixes per second (most devises only provide 1 position per second) allowing faster response time.

The B1-NAV revolutionary hardware provides a completely new experience, with amazingly smooth graphics and almost instant information updates. Despite the differentiating hardware characteristics like the high contrast and resolution screen, very sensitive variometer, large memory capacity, radio frequency interface for connecting probes and sensors, high capacity li-ion battery, etc., the B1-NAV boasts many powerful and unique software features, with an intuitive, very user friendly interface.

Features at a glance:
- 50 Channels, high sensitivity (-160cBm), fast start-up (<1second Time-To-First-fix for hot and aided starts) DPS with 4 Hz position update rate (4 positions per second).
- High contrast and resolution display (320x240 with backlight).
- High sensitivity variometer, featuring exclusive Ultrasense technology with a resolution of 0.01m/s.
