How about the light on the USB stick? It should blink while files are

being downloaded, and stop when it's done. That's how I know CN is done

downloading the IGC file.


I'm using el cheapo 4 GB half size USB drives for soaring, like these: http://tinyurl.com/c722utl, no lights.

CN gives feedback from display, lets you know what's happening. Flarm should do likewise. My $0.02.
