I use it under Win XP home on my laptop. Runs in the (pseudo)DOS window just
fine.

The "free" software supplied by Cambridge---(the DOS program) GPS NAV PC
software v 5.884 is current--tells the backup batt voltage when
downloading
the flight, or when uploading databases. Might be wise to use it once or
twice a year. It is available, along with the windows based Aero Explorer
on
the Cambridge web site.

My model 20 backup voltage would read out on the GPS Nav display during
startup. If you don't have the Nav, maybe it will do the same thing with
the LNAV?

Good thoughts, both.

I've never had the GPS Nav display--I've always used GNII on a PDA to
interface with the GPS/NAV. And I don't recall any indication of
backup battery voltage on the LNAV.

I haven't used the Cambridge DOS software in a long time--since before
Win XP. But checking the backup battery voltage is a good reason to do
so once in a while, as Hartley suggest. Any tricks/problems getting it
to run under XP?
