Cumulus adalah perangkat lunak navigasi penerbangan open source gratis untuk pilot glider.
Cumulus is a well established free Open Source flight navigation software written for glider pilots and other flight enthusiasts. This App is a port to Android of the Qt C++ application, running on Nokia's Internet Tablets N8x0 and N900.
Cumulus menyediakan tampilan peta yang bergerak dengan semua informasi yang Anda butuhkan untuk membuat navigasi lebih mudah saat terbang, namun membutuhkan interaksi pengguna minimum. Navigasi selama penerbangan didasarkan pada pemrosesan informasi GPS yang dikirim baik oleh penerima GPS bawaan atau perangkat GPS Bluetooth eksternal.
Cumulus features a full color moving map with information on terrain, airfields, airspace, (rail-) roads, water, cities and many other details. Ini menangani titik arah, penebangan IGC dan tugas bekerja sama dengan KFLOG, penentuan angin, situs yang dapat dijangkau, perhitungan akhir, matahari terbit dan matahari terbenam, kueri stasiun cuaca bandara (METAR dan TAF), buku catatan penerbangan, pelacakan penerbangan langsung melalui internet dan serta switching titik tugas otomatis juga didukung.
Cumulus juga dapat memproses dan menampilkan data flarm, jika perangkat Android terhubung dengan perangkat flarm melalui adaptor serial-bluetooth atau papan USB IOIO UART. The IOIO bord can also supply the Android device with power. Such adapters are offered eg by http://www.k6-team.de, http://www.soartronic.net or http://www.glidertools.com. Selanjutnya Cumulus dapat mengunggah data konfigurasi dan definisi tugas ke perangkat Flarm dan mengunduh penerbangan Anda dari perangkat Flarm.

If your Android device has built-in a barometric sensor, you can activate it in Cumulus and use its data as a barometric pressure altitude.
The usage of Cumulus on an Android device is only useful with a screen resolution of at least 800 x 480 pixels in landscape mode. Furthermore a screen diagonal is recommended greater than 4" otherwise you have problems to use your fingers for the operation.
One tip from me. To have a better usage of the native Cumulus part, please adapt the sizes of the GUI and Menu fonts. You can do it via the menu item Setup->General entry Look&Feel. On that page you have tow buttons to open the related font dialogs. Especially the GUI menu font should be adopted by you. Make your changes in small steps only and check the results. To get the changes full realized a restart of the program is recommended.
More information about the usage of Cumulus is to find on its web page. Here is a link to a short introduction for Android users:
