Default ClearNav 2 PSA (slooooow response, and a fix)

Thanks Evan.Â* I followed that advice last month at your suggestion.

Having spent a career as a systems engineer and my wife as a software
and systems engineer, I just have to ask:Â* How about a new release with
the diagnostic software turned off?Â* It's ridiculous to ask the
customers to jump through hoops as a work around to poor configuration
control.

There's a bug in the current CN2 software release that over time turns into a serious performance problem. The cause is simple: some of the diagnostic logging functions used in the software development process didn't get switched off for the public release. Over time, the diagnostic file gets big and the time required to append this file gets outrageous.

The work around is just as simple: run the updater as though you were adding waypoints or airspace (you don't need new files on the USB, just select e.g. "waypoints" and run the updater). This will remove the diagnostic files and restore performance.

best regards,
Evan Ludeman
