I think not. Someone suggested that the LX 1600 on a PDA or PNA settings may work with the WinPilot Pro and V7 combination???? 6PK

Jarek,

You are asking the wrong question. The question should be:
Does WinPilot PRO software support the LXNAV V7 Vario? The answer is NO.

Doesn't the V7 output the LX nav 1600 sentences? If so it ought to work...

The replay from Jerry Plaszowiecki was:

"If it outputs the same sentences as the older LX various (like LXWP0, LXWP1), then it should work ok."

.... but how do I find out before spending money on WinPilot Pro upgrade?

A friend has a V7 in his glider operating through SeeYou Mobil
Next time I'm out with him I will ask to plug in my PDA with WP Pro to see if it works or not. This maybe a week or two and unless someone beats me to it I will post the results.

My V7 vario in my Phoenix motorglider works just fine with my Winpilot Pro and Colibri GPS/recorder to give me wind calculations, climb optimization, etc. Had to fiddle with settings to make it work, but with Paul Remde's always excellent advice (on the V7), it was no problem. Paul doesn't claim to know much about Winpilot, but he knows the V7.
I had to enter my Winpilot password about 200 times last summer, but that's a Winpilot problem, not an interface problem.
