you can use most GPS receivers (or GPS mouse) connected to a PDA with
FlywithCE "Navigator" http://www.flywithce.com/index.html software now
offered for FREE (in basic version)
see: http://www.wingsandwheels.com/lx_nav...ies_for_ip.htm
add as many pilots and glider polars as you'd like. You can run most PDA's
from internal or external battery set-ups with power cables or even simple
battery sleeves

Hi All,
I am looking for some advice on a palm nav setup,
my situation is this:
I don't own a glider, I fly club gliders, so I can't
rely on a glider having a particular wiring setup,
I already have a modern Garmin GPS, and am looking
to create a glider independent setup to switch between
gliders as needed. I've been looking at old r.a.s
threads and have sort of come to the conclusion that
an iPaq 36/3800 is what most people like, has anyone
tried running these off batteries other than the glider?
Does anyone else have any experience with this sort
of setup? Budget is quite limited (so £2000+ pieces
of equip are out of the question ;-) )

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Jamie Denton
