Re: [Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Installation Update
I agree, I have now had several hours flying with the Nexus and is very good, great visibility in all conditions, fast response, and as Paul said, it is cheap.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Nexus 7 Installation Update
Hi Bernard The latest version changes from portrait to landscape mode as you rotate your device. So it automatically senses its orientation and adjusts accordingly. I'm not sure what it does if your device can't detect which way up it is facing. Maybe there is a manual setting. What device are you running XCsoar on?
