I believe the European Flarm is different then the US PowerFlarm. Does this work with US version.

Is there a way to declare to a portable PowerFlarm or do you just use written declaration with the IGC file?


Modify your flarmcfg.txt file. *Use free flarm config tool software -


http://www.segelflug-software.de/prod_flarmcfgtool.html. Change the


waypoint file using the file of your country (most are in the


software). Select your task waypoints. Push button to make a


flarmcfg.txt file on your microSD card. Insert microSD card into your


portable. Power up.


If your desired waypoints aren't in the country waypoint file, you may


have to edit the waypoint.fln file.


You may be able to declare directly from a PDA. I am able to create


declarations in XC Soar, and send to my PowerFLARM Core/Brick via an


IOIO card and android phone.


Either way gets a valid IGC declaration into my PowerFLARM. *Easiest/


cheapest is via microSD or USB flarmcfg.txt file.


It does in Canada with a Brick - same as US. *FLARM file is the same
no matter what hardware it is on.

Here's a 500 I declared from Ridge Soaring Gliderport using it from my
