I have a cambridge 302 with Glide Navigator 2. I am downloading my
turnpoints from the worldwide turnpoint exchange using these steps 1.
files formatted for downloading and importing --- 2. Soaring
Innovations Glide Navigator 2


Question 1:
Is there a way to make the turnpoints in alphabetical order as this
would be more user friendly for normal flying?

*** I'm surprised the files from the soaring turnpoint exchange aren't
already in alphabetical order. There are several ways to fix that. It
would be possible to re-sort using Excel, but that is for slightly advanced
Excel users only. The other option is to open the file in SeeYou or
StrePla, re-sort the file and re-export the file. I can walk you through
that over the phone. It is also documented in one of my SeeYou training
videos (video #29) he

Question 2:
When I use the GPS it just shows the number next to the green airport
icon, but does not show the name on the moving map.

*** In GN II, go to Menu / Menu 3 (or 4) Display Options and select how you
want the waypoint names to display. I usually select "first 5 characters"
for waypoints and "first 5 characters and numbers" for contest turnpoints.

Question 3:
How do I enter a specific landout spot, for instance a big open field,
that is not listed as a turnpoint or control point? It would be nice
to use the gps to navigate to these type of spots.

*** You would need to edit the waypoint file on your PC using Notepad.
It's a simple text file.


Any advice is always greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Scott
