Cambridge "V"
Hi Gang,
When I page up on my Cambridge GPS, I get a "V" for velocity or groundspeed. My question is: Is this always displayed in Knots, even though I programed it to use MPH? This same signal is fed to my B-100 via the NMEA cable and displayed in MPH & Track on page 2 of the Borgelt B-100. Mike, I bet you know the answer? When I tell the B-100 to use Knots, then the Cambridge GPS and B-100 agree, so I assume the GPS is always showing "V" in Knots. Why do I care? Because I like to page back in the B-100 (in set-up mode) and read True Air Speed as I read Ground Speed (V) on the GPS. The difference being the wind in headwind or tailwind component. I do this mostly during shaky, final glides and it keeps my mind off the altitude I don't have. JJ Sinclair |
