You just need to put your map, turnpoint and airspace files in the XCSoar folder, which should be in /sdcard root. You may need to download and install a file manager prgram like ES File Explorer to move files around on your device. Or, hook up to your PC with a USB cable and use your PC to move the files around.











Has anyone actually got XCSoar to work on the Nexus 7? I've got the App/program and directly imported both map and airspace files, but since they're not on an SD card i cant figure out how to get the program to see/recognize/find them.







Any help appreciated.







Thx



Had to load ES file explorer on the tablet because there was no file folder for XCSoar (when connected to computer via USB), but once loaded the folder appeared and i could just use the ES program on the tablet also. Looks like it works - try it in the air this weekend. Much thanks.

Did you activate the data files yet? Open the system configuration,
and select the files (map, waypoints, airspaces).

Doesn't that folder need to be named "XCSoarData"?

Yes, you're absolutely right. XCSoarDate is the complete name of the folder. And, as Max said, once files are all in there, you'll need to use the config-system setup-Site Files configuration screen to select those files into your configuration.

Typo - I should have typed XCSoarData not XCSoarDate.

Any thoughts? Will the screen hold up in sunlight? It has GPS,

accelerometer and a gyro. Is the 16 GB enough?



Thanks,

It has those sensors, but it doesn't have a barometer. The phone (Galaxy Nexus) has a barometer. I've tested it in the airplane (after inputting altimeter setting) and it's very accurate. I was disappointed that they left it out of the Nexus 7.

The primary reason for including barometers is to get a faster GPS fix. If the Nexus 7 GPS chipset acquires quickly, that might be why they left it out.

I am using the Nexus 7 with XCSoar and so far so good. I just need to get used to XCSoar since I am mainly a SeeYouMobile user.
The Nexus 7 works well and is not overheating unlike my PDA. We did alright making T30 with all the signoff timing corners.
The screen brightness is sufficient. With a matte screen cover it works just fine IMO.
The only thing I would like to do is lock the screen somehow since the display is so large I unintentionally touch it sometimes with where I have it positioned.

The 8G works fine although I plan to root it, load StickMount and use an OTG cable for an additional flash drive. But only really need that for watching movies. For XCSoar you dont need that.

Does anyone have some basic settings for XCSoar on the Nexus 7 for paragliding and can you explain to me how to set it up? I find the menu system so fiddly and difficult to navigate - it would be great if someone who has already set it up for PG pilots to share their wisdom.
Many thanks,
David
