Personal

Here you can enter and define your personal data.

Pilot name
This data is mostly used for the IGC logfile.
Language
Select the language which you do prefer. English is always the default also in case if your selection do fail.
Home site
The home site coordinates are used for:

The home site coordinates can also be set in the airfield and waypoint pages. In this case the data are taken over from these pages and a manually entry is superfluous. The default home position is set at the Brandenburger Tor, in the center of Berlin (Germany).
Data Directory
With the Button Data Directory and the text entry field beside you can define a new storage place for your waypoint, task and IGC logger files. The default storage place of Cumulus is:

On Maemo it is recommend to define a new location, which lays on one of the SD cards (/media/mmc1 called external card or /media/mmc2 called internal card). The SD cards are accessable with the Maemo file manager and also via USB. So you can transfer your data files between your PC and the Internet Tablet very conveniently.

When you press the Data Directory button, a directory dialog is opened and you can navigate to another directory storage place. Use short double tips on Maemo for moving between the directories. The directory dialog shows only existing directories. If you want to create a new subdirectory you have to add the missing pathes in the text field by hand. Cumulus tries to create the new subdirectories, if you leave the settings dialog with the Ok button.

E.g.

/media/mmc1/Cumulus or /media/mmc2/Cumulus

should be good places for use. Note, if you change the data directory no files will be transfered automatically by Cumulus to the new area. Such moves must be done alone by the user itself, if Cumulus is not running!
