The truth is different - Navigator is also written in Slovenia and because
of that I use local maps when I am making screen shots. As Tim said you can
generate maps for any other place on the earth or use waypoints prepared for
other moving map programs.

For the GPS simulation I use another small utility which is not publicly
available and is more suitable for testing hardware or Pocket PC software.

I notice on the above web location that the waypoints on the demo
screens are from Slovenia (Krizka, Lesce, etc.). This makes me think
that the soaring simulator Condor was used since the only location (so
far) available for it is Slovenia. That's where the programmers live.
I believe that the ability to "test" new PDA soaring software in the
comfort of your study makes Condor worth the $50 just for that. Much
better than driving around in your car or whatever. Certainly safer to
learn all of the details of the PDA software at home rather than being
distracted in the air. The NMEA sentences that Condor delivers are in
essence no different than when flying "for real". One can test
everything such as thermal mode, flying tasks, interacting with the
software while "flying" and so forth.

Of course Condor is also an excellent soaring simulator.
