Then it took a month to show up, after an attempted order cancellation
from the vendor (??) *- Ever hear of such a thing?

I thought it would make a nice moving map update for my Garmin IQue with
Approach Systems MM (for $20, would you believe)

Then I found that the MM I was using didn't know wince 6.0.
Too bad.

Then I found that LK8000 DOES know Wince 6.0 * *Good!

Then I found you couldn't download LK8000, perhaps because a copyright
owner of XCsoar was objecting. * *Too bad.

So here I am sitting on my hands....

one of the guys in our club bought one of those chinese "Oudies", he's
up and running with LK8000, looks good too!
I run LK8000 on a PDA and on a PNA-310, very happy with it on both of
these units.

LK8000 V122B upgrade is out there.
