Re: [Aus-soaring] XCsoar Map data

[Erich Wittstock]

Hi Mike,
google does come up with the map generator:
http://mapgen.xcsoar.org/ ..there are more areas to fly than SE QLD and N
NSW..
..can you let us in on a new project of yours?
Will you come out with a glass panel like this:
http://www.butterfly-avionics.com/index.php/en/products/butterfly-vario-intelligent-variometer
and implement Flarm & ADS-B collision avoidance:
http://www.butterfly-avionics.com/index.php/en/products/powerflarm-en?
I'd be tempted to move my B40 further down in the panel...
:-)

Re: [Aus-soaring] Cambridge GPS10/20/25 now have OLC approval again

[Ian Mc Phee]

thanks Jim and it is good sensible news. I forgot to pass it on.

The early work was done by a very persistent Klaus Keim in Germany and he
had huge problems with the OLC people not responding to him.  I think the
OLC will accept from Oct 1 which is only a week and a bit away

I think I mentioned earlier on Klaus work on GPS drop outs which seems to
be caused by the black paint on top of cowl.  Klaus mounts the GPS aerial
with a hole thru the canopy cover but secures from underside.  Thus means
you can remove cover easily.  It seems hard to believe it can be paint

Also thanks to Klaus I have been able change the internal Garmin engine
battery and reset the date and time and they seem to work again. Klaus was
in earlier years in South Africa and became very resourceful as in those
days they had restrictions on imports in RSA
