SeeYou Mobile with SN10B data

Since I went with the new cable the seeyou wind calc seems to be in better agreement than in the past when using the gps data alone. However, I always rely on the final glide calc from the sn-10 so the possible increase in accuracy in seeyoumobile is of limited value to me. I would only go with the new cabling if you were already planning to make a change behind the panel. Regards, XJ XJ, how about the thermal information? *Thermal history, centering page, etc? *Does that appear to be more useful than the GPS-derived information? Kirk Kirk, Sorry, I haven't used the seeyou thermal features enough to comment on them. XJ- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I set up my two SeeYou map pages to take advantage of the set up variations available with SeeYou mobile- map page 1 is for X/C on the run, nav boxes include, distance to target, bearing to target, required L/D to target, current L/D, required altitude to target, Ground speed, wind speed and direction, Netto. Map page 1 aslo shows all the airports within glide. map page 2 is set up for thermalling- I use a pretty high zoom in so I can see my circles, how round and where in the circle I'm climbing. this is a huge help to center themals and keep track of the wind drift while circing. For nav boxes I use avg vario, wind speed and direction. I also use larger fonts for this page. I don't have the latest version of SeeYou mobile which has a thermal optimizer but it does show where I'm climbing int the trace. Very easy to see. the other pages of statistics are also great but I don't use them much. I never use the terrain color- way too much detail and too hard to read. I set up the buttons to toggle between map 1 and map 2 I set up the toggle bar like my GPS in my car, up is zoom in, down is zoom out, but I usually leave the map scale alone. I toggle back and forth with these two pages and get a lot of info in a quick glance. I don't have to stare at the PDA. I use the Clear /Touch cover on my PDA and I can see it fine. I use a 9 inch long gooseneck to help position the PDA better or as needed. I use separte battery power to run the Volkslogger and PDA. When everything is working it is an awesome system. Many thanks to Navitar/SeeYou guys for making such a wonderful tool. Both desktop and mobile. The desktop is great to manage the clunky three button Volkslogger. Dan Rihn ASW-20 WO |
