Hi Scott As far as the road altitudes was concerned - I was using XCSoar, so it probably did not apply. As far as the installation is concerned, I have just followed the PDF in the root directory of the XCSoar. Expanded it onto a SD card and reset the device. It boots into a file manager, brings back memory as it is like Win95 used to be and then clicked on the card name and then on the program name.
