New LXNAV Wi-Fi Module
I have it in an Arcus and use it to email flights and update firmware - both of which it does very easily. The rear seat unit has to have the firmware updated in the old fashioned way.
I do not use it for weather. I generally have my phone in flight mode while flying. I think you only get a phone signal when you are uncomfortably low in the UK. |

I was circling by myself in a weak thermal, so I Hauled out a phone to let a friend hear the vario at work but got no signal. At all. Most of England is so flat that there's no need for more than horizontal RF coverage at or below the top of the cell antenna. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

New LXNAV Wi-Fi Module
This seems to be more or less no longer true with 4G. Flying in England last year I observed I had 4G 80-90% of the time using my phone mounted on the canopy. With an antenna that's not in carbon bucket I imagine you'll get it all the time.

Can the WiFi module be used with Condor so we can learn to use LX system over the winter?
