Winpilot for contest use?

Kirk,

I believe the issues was that several days during the 15m 2006 USA
Nationals an AAT task was called that had more than 5 or 6 turnpoints
and the SN-10 in the AAT mode would not allow that many points.

Tim, would you explain this for me? The current rules limit tasks to
11 legs - which is exactly what the SN10 task page allows.

Obviously, a PST could have more legs, but only 11 should be scored, if
I understand the rules correctly.

By the way, my racing and XC solution is both an SN10 and a PDA running
SeeYou Mobile. I use the SN10 as the primary nav/task computer. My
PDA is setup to show only the task, major map features (for
orientation), and airports (in or out of glide range), plus some data
not available on the SN10 such as agl altitude. As such, it
complements the SN10 without competing with it (basically it is a
digital sectional).

The trick, obviously, is to only look at the magic when you need
information, not just to look at the nice numbers and pretty pictures!

Each is powered by a separate battery and supplied by a separate GPS
for redundancy if either one looses all it's blue smoke - so I can
continue to race after a hardware/software failure.
