Default Numbers on predictor line of xcsoar?

I'm a newbie. I've done some searching, but i can't find info on the four numbers on the predictor heading line on my xcsoar display.
Can someone explain what the numbers are please?
Thanks in advance.

They are Detour cost markers. See section 13.6 of the manual.

It is the percentage increase of the distance if you fly to the number and
then the target compared with if you fly straight to the target from your
current location.

No - but you can put it on PasteBin or a similar website and post a link
to that.
