A last generation GPS chip:

U-blox M8 multi-GNSS! Behind these words, there is the best we can offer today regarding the GPS
network. In addition to an increased position precision (2m) and a reduced power consumption, this GPS chip is able to synchronize up to 72 channels
from the following systems:
-GPS (American)
-Galileo (European)
-GLONASS(Russian)
-Beidou (Chinese)
-QZS (Japonese)
-SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation System) using land-based systems (like EGNOS in Europe, WAAS
in USA…) to increase again the position precision and
reliability.

The real advantage of this GPS chip is that it will synchronize simultaneously different systems. The SYS’Evolution will be the first instrument in the world to take advantage of this last generation electronics.

In addition, have you ever noticed that the GPS altitude indicated by your smartphone has a big latency when you’re flying a thermal? Regardless of the technology, the GPS chip has to be customized depending on the use case. Syride sets up the GPS chip with high accuracy to perfectly fit free flight movements and requirements.

The best screen for free flight:

Why would you fly with the best instrument ever, if you can’t read it ?

When we’ve decided to design an instrument with a large touchscreen, we’ve tried most known technologies while flying. The result is obvious: E-ink screens outperform every other technologies, especially regarding viewing angle and sun.

The SYS’Evolution is equipped of a 6-inch E-ink screen. Its resolution of 800 x 600 pixels with 16 levels of gray gives incredible images and possibilities.

We’ve chosen the 3rd generation of E-ink screen, called «CARTA». It’s a new kind of E-ink screen which has 50% increased contrast and 20% reduced reflections compared to the previous generations. It has the best contrast ratio ever we can find on this kind of screen, while keeping power consumption at a very low level. While flying, you read information like they were written on a paper.

A complete connectivity:

When connected through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB, the SYS’Evolution is able to synchronize data. Here is what it can download or upload (user-customizable):

-The current and next positions (up to next 35 days) of satellites networks through the “AssistNow” feature of U-Blox GPS chip. This will reduce the GPS
fix delay down to 1 second after hard reset.

-Real-time weather forecast from available weather providers.

-Automatic flight upload to your online flightbook on syride.com

-Flying sites information from Syride database (more than 6000 flying sites over 100 countries).

-Real-time live tracking through smartphone and Bluetooth.

-Pre-recorded Safety message with GPS coordinates sent by SMS (through Bluetooth connection to smartphone).

An optimized screen size:

An important criteria when buying an instrument is the ratio between instrument size and screen size.

We spent a lot of time to reduce this ratio as far as we could, and we finally reached to reduce it up to 1.5 times compared to the average of other current instruments. This mean more free space on your cockpit, and reduced weight in your bag.

Resistive touchscreen:

There are currently 2 technologies in touchscreen:

Capacitive,
is the one we can find in most smartphone and e-readers. It is highly sensitive, but cannot be used with gloves. It needs to get in contact with your skin to work.

Resistive,
is the one chosen by Syride. This technology is less sensitive, but can be used with gloves, pencil or any material.
Menus of the SYS’Evolution have been designed keeping in mind this technology.

Unbeatable autonomy:
