I've been considering purchasing an LX 5000. I was thinking if I did
so I could do away with the PDA. Given the capabilities built into the LX unit itself, what does running WinPilot or other PDA based program give you? (Besides color moving map). (Clint) wrote in message . com... "Ludovic Launer" wrote in message ... Thanks a lot. Where are NMEA sentences coming out from ? From the RS232C ? or from the PC-RS232C ? Or both maybe ? Is the BINDER 5pin male the round shape connector ? Regards, Ludovic I replaced the little 5-pin round connector with a std 9-pin plug for my LX 5000. This is used to download data from the unit as well as connecting to my PDA to get the NMEA sentences. Clinton LAK 12 |

![]() LX unit itself, what does running WinPilot or other PDA based program give you? (Besides color moving map). "Belt and suspenders" as we say in French... It's usefull sometimes to have one unit with a turn point / col / airfield as the goto point, and another having a field as the goto point. I use that method very often. Plus, the Winpilot PDA brings color moving map + portable system to upload / downloaf flights. I haven't used a LX5000 yet, but I guess I'll be using both the LX and Winpilot. Which means I can do without the Volkslogger now... Anyone looking for a second-hand VL ? Regards, Ludovic |

not have a colour (not a spelling mistake - it is how we spell color in Africa) PDA as the Palm colour units are poor in direct sunlight (plenty of that in Africa as well) and do not have the money for an IPAQ and Winpilot. I use a Tungsten T and previously an M515. Both has color display and has no problem under sunlight. Avoid T2, T3 and zire types, that units has the problem what you described. Regards, /Janos |
