Agree. The traffic display for the vario is inadequate.

I'd settle for just the alarm screen.



All the other stuff is better displayed on a PDA anyway, wouldn't hurt to have it on the vario but I'd rather look at the PDA.


Marc,
I guess I messed up installing the update announced above. I loaded the .bfd file on my 2GB stick that I normally use for flight downloads. After inserting it into the Core I pressed the display button and turned PFlarm on. It loaded a file from the memory stick and after a while the display changed from UPDATE MODE WAITING to ... LOADING.
That was displayed for what that seemed like 10 min. Since the memory card war not being read (no lights flickering), I turned the PFlarm off and tried to load again. Now the display has ....Waiting on immediately with the word flashing. Taking out the memory stick, the display only shows the Butterfly with some text but the unit does not boot up into acquiring satellites.
What to do?

Thanks, Herb
