Get the FlywithCE "Downloader", use almost any model iPaq or Aero and you
can leave the PC at home......up/down load files, transfer data
(turnpoints,
tasks, airports) right to the pocket PC....I have cables to connect
directly
to the Filser devices and software link on my page

once you have this you can also easily add FlywithCE Navigator if you ever
find the need for more ipaq navigation (you probably don't need this with
the DX50) and you're good to go.makes life without the laptop easy

Hello all,
My old portable PC packed up definitely a few weeks ago and
when I started looking around for a new one I found that
none of them have the old traditional serial port anymore !?

This rather leaves me in the lurch with the Filser GPS-logger
in my glider, since the interface is over a cable that connects
to the serial port.

I imagine there may be others here who have come up agaist
the same thing. Can anyone point me to a solution ?

The model is Filser DX-50, functionally equivalent to the Lx5000
I am told, and possibly this particular problem will be the
same for some other models as well.

Cheers CV
