You can always "GoTo" another waypoint and once you don't need that anymore
you can "Resume Task" from the Nav menu. I guess though what you want is
something more like what the LX devices do with their separate Airport,
Waypoint and Task modes, right?

There is already a MARK DROP function in the NAV menu for thermal marking.
If there was an option to assign the drop as an instant landable waypoint it
would show green when still in range and could be selected as a GOTO.

that could be pretty handy. I use the big green spots to see where there
was a thermal/lift and would probably also use marker to mark landing spots.

Hi All,
I recently purchased a Bluetooth to Serial Converter from ebay, to replace
my fried (probably my own fault) K6BT.
I found this device:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RS232-Bluetooth-Serial-Adapter-Communication-Master-
Slave-2-Modes-/150846008803?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item231f1f6de3
(or search for "RS232 Bluetooth Serial Adapter Communication Master-Slave 2
Modes").
So far, testing has been positive. While i don't have my flarm handy, i've
simulated it by sending NMEA data from my PC through the COM port at 4800
Baud. My Android phone connected to the device and is receiving the data as
expected.
At $18 USD including postage, it's not a bad buy. It did take about a month
to arrive though.
The only downsides with it are:
> You need to change the BAUD rate from the default 9600 to 4800, as a
> once
off
> It requires 5v power, which can be supplied via two pins on the device
> or

It is configurable via the serial interface, using a Hayes-like command set
(AT+HELP etc). This allows you to change baud, name, pin, etc.
It could be an alternative to the more expensive gliding-specific ones, or
as a spare.
Cheers
Luke

The standard baudrate of the Flarm is 19200. 4800 is only used on the
secondary port that only sends traffic information, but no GPS. Are you sure
that this is what you want?

Probably not, i just googled 'flarm baud rate' and saw '4800' in one of the
responses and assumed that was correct. Cheers for the heads up, ill change
it now.
