The LX specs for talking to an LX device such as Colibri, LX20 and probably

I'll try and ask LX if they can make them public. Winpilot and SeeYou can
talk to LX, because they are or were all part of the same company, I was
told.

I have a Nano and it is very easy to use and works well.
Blue Tooth with the Nano works, as does using the serial port with my
HX4700. There is one small hiccup if you are using XCSoar or LK8000.
So far declaring a task using LK8000 or XCSoar has not been possible.
The easy work around is using Navetir ConnectMe, which is a free
program, *to declare tasks via your IPAQ just prior to take off. Of
course task inputs using a home or laptop computer are easy as well.

That would be nice, I'm not sure why LX (or the various companies spun
off now) do not publicity document their protocols/NMEA extensions
etc.

Failing that a terminal emulator capturing the serial port stream
should also tell you what you need to know.

Naviter has a close relationship to the LX companies but AFAIK
Winpilot does not and never had.

Tryhttp://lxnavigation.de/avionics/manuals_de.php
I was able to download a manual containing the definitions of the
LXWPx
sentences. *The details of the upload and download protocols
aren't available that I know of, however.

I had missed that, you are right the "LX-NMEA" manual on the page you
provided documents the LXWP* NMEA extensions (but not the task
declaration stuff).

Thanks.
