Hi Greg, I have loaded my unit with Car navigation software as well, I haven’t experienced any dropouts whilst driving.
I use mine for Paragliding along with a GoFly Pico https://sites.google.com/site/jarosrwebsite/goflypico/hardware for barometric alt and vario information, plus a small USB battery which gives me about 20 hrs use on full backlight. Paragliders don’t have the room for a 12 v system. I have also got one of my customers a Glider tools Altimeter/ vario, Vladimir also has all the cables for the various flight recorders and flarms available http://www.glidertools.com/cables/ I have a reasonably current (march 2012) Australian Airspace file that I have added CAR166 airports to, if you are interested. If you hear of anyone looking for a V2 , I might be cheaper than the other guy.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Vertica Sports V2 I'm fairly sure Mike Borgelt is selling them too, along with cables to power off glider batteries and to connect to flarms, varios etc. I bought one from the U.K a few weeks ago and have flown a few hours with it. It's very easy to read even in direct sunlight. Way brighter than any pda and when you turn it off, it's off. It doesn't need to be kept on charg like many pdas and pnas. I must admit that the internal gps stopped working for at least 10 minutes in clear skies. I plan to run mine off the flarm to avoid this and to get the on-screen flarm display. Cheers, Greg. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Vertica Sports V2 From: "Rod Merigan" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, October 04, 2012 11:28 am To: "'Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.'" <[email protected]> That is probably why my shipment was late :) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DMcD Sent: Thursday, 4 October 2012 12:51 AM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Vertica Sports V2 Hello Rod, At a very reasonable price too. What a shame you did not post this email two weeks ago when I ordered one from the UK! I think the Vertica looks pretty good, especially as a backup, and it is refreshing to see a distributor in Oz selling things at a price which makes buying from overseas unnecessary.
