I have used Tom-Tom for on the ground type navigation and it is interesting. Gets some things wrong, dies in the Sydney tunnel although it does try dead reckoning for a time, but much better than having SWMBO giving instructions from maps. [The girl or boy chosen simply accepts your 'mistakes' and works out directions from wherever you got to] Tom-Tom came free on a 256 m SDIO card with the Hp 6515 over Xmas.
I don't think Tom-Tom is much good in the glider, and I prefer XCSoar, or GPS_LOG, as the pictorial map is outside the cockpit. And in pair or team flying I have noted much chatter stating distance to run to the next turn as a key reference. As I now have a Hp 6515, I have one SDIO GPS and one Bluetooth GPS as new, seldom used, but work on IPAQ etc for sale. Any offers at about $100 each?

Its very popular in the US but I cant seem to find mapping/software information for a PDA, only the full kit is available with screen , etc. Wayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
