Hi folks,

WOO HOO!! It works!!! Thank you all very much for your help. Rodger,we
need to go for a few pint's ON ME some day. By placing the map file's in
the "ipaq file store" and setting the start menue to open COM port 7
(GPS) I am now off and running.

some other questions regarding XCSoar. I'm just playing around with it
(maybe I then find it useful some time :-) ).

I run it on a windows mobile based device (HTC Blue Angel with WM 6.5 as
OS).

By now I have these questions:

#1: How do I manage XCSoar to show not only airspaces, but also
air*fields* in the map? Would find that helpful ...

#2: the map isn't very detailed. Where may I get more detailed maps?

#3: airfield- and airspace data I found is somewhat out-of-date. Is
there any source in the WWW for more up-to-date data?

Regards and thanks in advance

Werner
