NAVMAN PIN GPS device

Just spent ages getting one to work with SeeYou (soaring software). If you install OziExplorer on it, you will need to stop SmartSt from "grabbing" the GPS port.

I just deleted SmartST but you can actually force it to let go of the port. I have instructions here somwhere if you ever need that info.

Ray,
Thanks but I don;t like to pay if there is a cheap fix :-)

Russell,

I have oziexplore CE on an iPaq and it is THE way to go. A laptop is just too cumbersome for my setup.

RE running gliding software, the program is not just navigation is is a complex program that give you lots of data about what points on the map you can safely reach given current wind direction and atmospheric conditions and glider performance. It gives you speed to fly information based on the performance curve (polar) of the particular sailplane you are flying and much much more. It is designed to run on iPaq style devices and the Navman PIN is entirely suitable being lightweight ans small enough for tiny cockpits of gliders.

The GPS just needs to get an accurate fix it doesn't need to be robust.

Hey Russell we have the Navman PiN great little unit we also run Oziexplorer like David and we run the SmartSt for the city and outer metro, it's a bit fiddly setting up Ozi but well worth it.

Baz.

Ps David we would be interested in the software you are using with Ozi.
