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
  • File Copy Files (Maps, Airspaces, Flarmnet, Waypoints and more) from an USB-Stick to the OpenVario and vice versa
  • Exit to the 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.
