It is toggled automatically when XCSoar detects circling. But this does not
mean that it is always what you want it to do. If you circle in ridge lift or
wave it will confuse you. Or if XCSoar misscalculate the wind. Trying to work
weak wavelet and retain position with this feature is impossible. Hence the
need to be able to turn it on or off easily.
