Kirk,

What gps are you using to drive the SN-10?

Ray

Well, I tried both the Winpilot and GN2 demos for a
while (before
committing to my SN-10) and wasn't particularly impressed
with either
one (on an Ipaq 3790) - GN2 was a bit too basic; and
I absolutely
hated the Winpilot interface, found the WP maps hard
to read, and
couldn't get rid of displays I didn't want (the goofy
final glide
chevron thing - which unfortunatly mCU has copied!).
And since I
still have reservations about current color displays
in the hot and
bright AZ sunshine, I passed. I have been experimenting
with mCU, and
like it a lot so far- maps are nice - much better than
WP, and the
display can be dicluttered to give only the info I
want on my map.
But I still don't like the current ipaq displays, and
mCU still needs
some cooking/development/debugging time, so I'm waiting
and playing
with the demos. But it is showing definite signs of
being a real
winner!
