- However, the Cambridge GPS-NAV is still approved for all soaring badges
and all but national and world soaring records. It is still accepted at all
soaring contests.

But OLC will take a user modifiable file from any PDA, SN10, etc.????

Paul,
Just wondering, Why does OLC have heartburn with the CAI 20? FWIW they
take all the claims off of my Oudie.

[Paul Remde]

Hi,

This is only speculation, but I suspect it is because a large percentage of
users were not able to successfully follow the directions for using SeeYou
or a free utility to attach their secure .cai files to their non-secure .igc
files. I imagine this caused the OLC support team a huge amount of extra
work and customer support.

I'm very disappointed that this caused them to drop the Cambridge GPS-NAV
units from the OLC. But it is not really their fault either. They asked
Cambridge to supply a .dll for validating the .cai files (just as every
other flight logger manufacturer has) and Cambridge never did. Cambridge
wasn't motivated to spend a lot of money on software programming costs for a
product that went out of production many years ago.

If someone creates a .dll for the validation of .cai files, then I imagine
the OLC will reconsider its position. I think someone posted here a few
months ago that they were looking into doing that.

Best Regards,

But, back to the original purpose of this.
What software version is the L-Nav? Does it have a temperature probe,
g-meter, etc?
Which size vario display? 2.25 or 3.125?
Providing a program with the 1550? GNII maybe? Or, just the 1550.
Recent calibrations on the GPS Nav or L-Nav?
Software version in the GPS Nav? Display version?

Steve, thanks for asking for details of my Cambridge system
See below (from memory as glider sits in winter storage)

> What software version is the L-Nav? *Does it have a temperature probe,
> g-meter, etc?
Latest software version available but LNAV does not include
external temperature probe or G-meter
> Which size vario display? *2.25 or 3.125?
Vario display is 3.125" or 80mm
> Providing a program with the 1550? *GNII maybe? *Or, just the 1550.
Yes, GNII version 3 is included
> Recent calibrations on the GPS Nav or L-Nav?
Gary Kamerer updated and calibrated in 2010
