Hi,

Actually, Im trying to run WinPilot VFR but I guess the gps software will
be much the same..... and as a sometime soaring pilot I hope I'll be
excused for posting the question here.

Anyway, Winpilot refuses to "see" my socket / emtac bluetooth gps. Which
seems a little strange. My in-car Navigation software (TomTom) is just fine
and so is a product called "efis" (a less accomplished type of WinPilot).
However neither of these products will see the GPS after an attempt to run
WinPilot has been made. After a reset these products work just fine again.

Jerry at WinPilot did mention that it might be a little flakey. (He didn't
say it wouldn't work at all).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,
It sounds to me like this problem is caused by a COM port issue. When
you run Winpilot, it "hogs" the wireless COM prot. Try resetting the
unit and running WinPilot First.

Also, you don't need to reset the unit. Goto Settings - Memory and
click "Stop all running programs" This is 90% of what a reset does.
