Hallo I am also a new user of soaringpilot, living in Germany, and I have also problems wiht loading up the SUA files on my Handspring visor pro. I used a...
Reinhard, From your description, a couple of things could be going on. First, do you have any waypoints in the unit and are any of them marked with the "HOME"...
Mark, Here are a couple of ideas for the next version 1. Include the current MC value on the moving map screen next to the Alt field. Also, when the GPS is...
I vote to keep the more complex final glide screen as it gives an instant guide on the difference between going faster and slowing down. Maybe show the...
I have been torn by this as well. However, let me ask a middle of the road question related to this. Do we need 6 values (0-5) or would something less be...
For me 6 values ( 0 - 5 ). Thanks. Geraldo A. C. ... De: Mark Hawkins [mailto:markhawke7@...] Enviada em: quarta-feira, 5 de fevereiro de 2003 14:43 Para:...
