Hi,
is it possible to somehow display actual AGL elevation of the aircraft (based on the DEM)?
Thanks,
Petr.

I'd like that feature, also. Much of the time, I can use my soaring flight computer to get AGL, but that is not always in the aircraft (Phoenix U15 touring motorglider) that has the Dynon.

I would love to see AGL as one of the data elements streamed out. Great for use in a landing gear alert system.

You get an AGL to the terrain when you have the map pointer pointing at something. So though there isn't a persistent info widget at the moment, just nudge the pointer free from the aircraft and you'll see both the terrain elevation and your AGL in the info bar that pops up at the top of the screen.

Thanks for the clarification. I am aware of the "nudge option", however I would like to plead for an independent data widget, as this would enable me to consult this variable comfortably.

(over here, many restricted airspaces are defined by AGL vertical limits, so this would be a great aid for being sure to avoid them)
