Pocket Nav NMEA sentences

[George B.]

I'm trying to get a Compaq Aero 1530 with PocketNav to receive NMEA
output from a Colibri logger so that it can display the moving map.
When I tried it for the first time in flight the PocketNav message was
"No NMEA Data" and it went into simulator mode. Can anyone tell me
what sentences to select in the Colibri's setup menu in order to get
this to work?

Try this (..from memory, email me if this doesn't work and I'll get the
actual devices and walk you through it)--
*before connecting the devices, go to the "make a new connection" page and
set one up--call it whatever you like, don't change any defaults
*physically connect the two devices
*tap the icon for the new connection you just created, say yes/ok to the
windows that come up
*tap the keyboard
*type NMEA<enter> data should start scrolling on your 1530 screen
*close the connection. Don't worry, the Colibri won't know you closed it
and will keep spewing data
*Open PocketNav

Hi George,

I'm sorry for the delay getting an answer to your question. I sell and
support Glide Navigator II which is the latest version of what was
Pocket-NAV. I forwarded your question to Chip Garner (GN II author) and his
response is below.
"GPRMC message for location, GPGGA if possible, this gives the GPS altitude
and allows differential final glide altitude."

You may want to consider getting Glide Navigator II as there a several nice
new features added since the days of Pocket-NAV such as the highlighting of
reachable airports on the map screen.

Good Soaring,
