Default XCSoar With LNAV?

Bill,

Do the files you've placed in your XCSoarData folder have the proper
suffixes (.sua, .cup., .txt, .xcm)?

Are you using the ConfigConfigSystemSite FilesSite Files process in the
XCSoar program?

I posted the following on google drive for a friend. Assuming you're
interested in the USA, here are the files to get you started:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B56G...EwMzdjMGc/edit - rename
this one All_USA.sua. This is your special use airspace for the entire US.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B56G...l5dGJhTWs/edit - rename
this one United_States.cup. This is all the turnpoints/airports in the USA.

You'll need to generate your own terrain map. Go to XCSoar.org and follow
the links to create and download a terrain map for your area.

Hope this helps.

I've picked up a new Android (Ice Crème Sandwich) phone (Galaxy
Stratosphere) and have installed the latest 6.5.1 XCSoar app. But I am not
having any luck getting the program to recognize the data files for
airspace, airports and turn points that I have loaded into the XCSoarData
folder.

I have been able to create two different glider profiles and can see them in
the XCSoarData folder.

Any ideas?

I've got a couple of friends who have acquired Androids and installed

XCSoar. Both of their gliders have LNAV and GPS-NAV installed.



Can their Androids be interfaced to the LNAV via K6-BT or IOIO?



It was easy connecting with my 302 and K6-BT...

Thanks Dan, I believe I have the correct suffixes, files I got from others in the club. Yes I am using the config program in XCSoar, but I'll check again.

I sent a note to get access to the googledocs files.

Thanks Dan, got it up and running.
Although the CUP file name does not show in the file setup screen, the points appear to be there.
I was able to create a task on the android phone, Bluetooth upload task to LX Nano, and used the Nano GPS output on Bluetooth to drive XCSoar after I disabled the internal phone gps.

Glad to help, Bill.

I kept the internal GPS on the Streak enabled, but the second choice in
XCSoar. First choice is the K6BT and the CAI-302 driver. That way, should
the Bluetooth link drop, XCSoar will still run on the internal GPS. I can
also demonstrate the device or play with new releases without going to the
airport.
