Wasn't somebody going to work on a user manual?

Second this. Would be nice to have a user manual available in-app and online.

Has any effort been done here? I have experience with pipelined doc builds with pandoc/quarto/latex. I know someone had talked about github pages as well. Not sure what would be the best fit here.

A pipeline-built HTML/PDF user manual could be built alongside app releases and rendered in-app, which might be nice.

There was definitely a conversation about this not to many months ago. It seems that everyone including myself is asking the same questions over and over again, there has to be a better way...

I think I started that thread.  There are a lot more informed users than I am and all I asked was a bullet list for an index to get me started and I got ........ nothing.  In a prior life I would download the source code and try to follow through it but I'm an old guy and have lost those skills.  So I just try and figure things out by myself.

Fantastic! That link should somehow be part of managements signature.

Thanks! I didn't know that existed, and I learned a number of things while reading through it.  It's pretty condensed/dense, but it covers all the features, it looks like. Not to be confused with a tutorial - which also might be helpful.
I took this opportunity to download the git repository, and try to resolve what the mysterious 'GEL'  meant on the instrument panel.  Turns out 'Ground Elevation', and 'DNL' means 'You need to download the ground elevation data, you idiot!' :)

And I found that the 'Documents' referred to for the KML file are internal to AvareX, so looking for it on my phone's documents are an exercise in futility. Read the manual, John!
