Cambridge 302 -or- Borgelt B50 plus data logger

Hi,

I think there may some confusion on what the 302A can and can't do, and a
bug in Glide Navigator II. We recently realized that Glide Navigator II had
issues with the 302A (GPS/Logger) because it was confusing it with a 302
(GPS/logger/vario). Since the wind data was not being received from the
302A (as it would be from a 302) Glide Navigator II was displaying wind of 0
at all times. Today I tested the bug fix version of Glide Navigator II in
flight and it worked great with my 302A. The wind information was displayed
and looked correct to me. It should be available on my web site tomorrow
(Thursday) evening.

So, the answer to the question is that no, I'm pretty sure (but could be
wrong) that the 302A does not calculated wind speed and direction. But
using soaring flight software like Glide Navigator II or pocket*StrePla
(also tested today with my 302A) works great as the software calculates wind
speed and direction while thermalling.

I don't think Volksloggers calculate wind while circling either.

Does that make sense?

Good Soaring,

Dear John,

I appreciate your considered response and don't mean to cast
dispersion; however,

Are you 100% positive that the 302A cannot calculate winds? This
seems odd for any GPS not to be able to do so.

Can anyone verify this?
