M-Nav

Thanks Steve.
I guess the hand crank on the side of the unit should have been a tip-
off (just kidding). Sounds like I need to add an item onto next year's
xmas list.

The M-Nav won't interface with any GPS, PDA, or anything else. *You
enter glider performance data (two points to make the polar, I
believe), set a distance to go, enter headwind/tailwind, and it counts
off the miles. *You can adjust miles to go at any time if you have a
GPS to tell you exact distance.

It will show speed to fly, and altitude needed to get somewhere, if
you have the wind and altitude correct. *Fine vario if it works.

You can probably find a manual for it somewhere on-line.

Have fun with your new plane!

Hello everyone.
New to the group. I have a Pegasus that hasn't flown in many years and
I'm getting her ship-shape after a new annual and a clean bill-of-
health. The glider has an older M-Nav50 computer and I was wondering
if anyone can tell me something about these computers, i.e., what
functions does it perform (speed to fly, best glide, etc.), I'm also
wondering if I can interface this old a model to any current PDA,
etc., or will there be compatibility issues? I guess I'm trying to
assertain whether it's worth saving, or should I bite the bullet and
buy a new one. I'd like to try to make it work, at least for the time
being. I don't fly competitions....it would mainly be for XC. Thanks.
