Default Glide Navigator II Problem

Hi Ray,

One more tip... delete any waypoint files that are on the 302 itself, if
any, and don't re-load them. My PDA wouldn't recognize the 302 because the
302 had a corrupted file on it. It took me forever to find the problem, but
deleting the file with a terminal program cured it and it's been working
all season.

Hi Ray,

You need to use waypoint files in the Cambridge .dat format. Airspace
files
must be in the Tim Newport-Peace .sua format. Using the correct files

will

solve the problem. You may need to delete the "wrong" files to be able to


get into GN II to select the correct files.

My GNII, running on an iPAQ 3955, won't load files.

I have the program file under the "Start" menu.
I have the turnpoint file, in *.txt format, under "My Documents."
I have the airspace file, in *.sua format, under "My Documents."

The same files are on the storage card.

I've been using this setup for many years, but all of a sudden, it doesn't


work.

GNII starts on the pda, goes to the screen which allows selecting to use
GPS
input or run as a simulator, but when it gets to the screen of
"Initializing
GNII" and "Loading files", it hangs, as if it can't find the files.

Greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
