### Settings

Personal

Here you can enter and define your personal data.

Pilot name
  This data is used as pilot's name 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 Map Projection Settings
  - The Manual Navigation
  - As center point for the Welt2000 airfield file when the radius option is in use.
  - As predefined center point for the map download procedue.
  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:

  - $HOME/Cumulus on the desktop PC
  - $HOME/MyDocs/Cumulus under Maemo (Nokia Internet Tablet)

  On the Nokia tablets N8x0 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 the Nokia tablets 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 new 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 on the Nokia N8x0 tablets. 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 your self, if Cumulus is not running!
