====== OV-Menu ======

The OV-Menu can be accessed by pressing the "ESC"-key during boot, while the progress-bar is visible. It has several useful functions:

  * Start XCSoar
  * [[ov-menu-file|File]] Copy Files (Maps, Airspaces, Flarmnet, Waypoints and more) from an [[usb-stick|USB-Stick]] to the OpenVario and vice versa
  * [[ov-menu-system|System]]
  * Exit to the [[ov-shell|Shell]]
  * Restart
  * Power_Off (Shutdown)
 

Navigation within the OV-Menu is done with the "UP" and "DOWN" arrow keys, "ESC", "F1" and "ENTER". If no key is pressed during the boot, XCSoar starts automatically without any further user interaction.
