There wont be "annoying" task restart in crowdy thermal anymore. This is part of our safety, not to look at instrument to much.... What is reseting task...
Er,... Well, I've received my little BT338 GPS (tiny, very impressive satellite lock - in the house, even the colibri finds that challenging!) and tried it out...
Task is usualy set on the ground. And I'am not tapping to much on instruments while flying. I have map on SP and other flying parameters on GPS screen. At...
Derrick, I have seen similar behavior with my Sony Clie NZ90 and my BT Navman 4460 GPS. I was convinced I was having some kind of hardware / firmware / OS...
One thing I've noticed is that the $GPRMC sentence doesn't contain variation info, $GPRMC,083141.000,A,5204.1232,N,00044.6237,W,0.04,172.35,010705,,*1A $GPRMC,...
Hello Simon, Why have turn points before the start?? What happens if a pilot does not reach the turn points before the start? Currently the start point in SP...
Hello, Now I need some help - I have had the logger running on the desk (0 speed log start works) and twice it has lost GPS after about 10+ minutes. However,...
More insight into the problem. I restarted SP and cancelled the discovery of bluetooth devices (warning horn sounds from SP), then I tried to transfer the log...
Forgive my ignorance, but I continue to get a "data not found" warning when I try to transfer SUA data into SP. I've tried saving on the main handheld (iQue...
Make sure you use the correct file name: Data Type Filename In Out Configuration config.scg X X Waypoints waypoints.dat X X Polars polars.spl X X Tasks ...
Hi, Thanks to the people who answered my problem witn SPTerm. You were right. It was the hotsync. Seems it comes up automatically everytime I turn the system...
On your altitude anomaly: It was probably when the satellites were blocked from the antenna (blocking while thermalling) or when the shifting constellation...
Paul, That's fascinating. How big can a PDOP get? A colleague of ours completed a turning point on a Gold C XC by flying around it looking down the wing and ...
Russell, and anybody else who's interested (Paul Jorgensson, can you provide more plain english detail on the problems with spikes? I find this fascinating...
Derrick, Thanks for the links, I will certainly follow up. Russell ... From: Steed, Derrick M To: soaringpilot@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005...
The GPS World document that is referenced (A good technical document: http://gauss2.gge.unb.ca/papers.pdf/gpsworld.may99.pdf) had fairly good explanations and...
Paul, The demo is fascinating to play with, some of the xDOP's are quite frightening (especially since I was at one of our "mountain" sites some years ago when...
Hi evrybody, I am facing a slight problem when starting Soarinpilot since I have installed the latest beta. I am using a Handspring Visor with a Magellan GPS...
Yes, the possible positions for the satellites are realistic. As you move further north, the less likely that satellites will be directly north of you on the...
A few things about the simulator (and your GPS status page if you have one) North is up, the outer ring is the horizon, the inner ring is 45 degrees above the...
Ah, OK I understand now. The time when that chap landed on the moutain he was using an early GPS receiver Garmin GPS50 I think, and it was in the mid nineties....
I have seen the same problem. I have the M500 Stan ... From: marcwensauer To: soaringpilot@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 02, 2005 8:51 AM Subject:...
Of course the solution to this is to use your logger as the GPS input for SP, and if possible the barometric pressure too. That way SP is seeing exactly what...
In the case in point the individual was not using a PDA, just a GPS2 and EW logger. So it wasn't an SP problem. He should have checked the GPS screen rather...
I've been using a Palm IIIxe with SP 1.9. I would like to upgrade to SP 2.0, but I am told that the Palm IIIxe would be marginal with it. A friend has a M550...
