I am completely at a loss when it comes to computers. I bought Iglide
downloaded maps etc. and was ready to go in 5 stress free minutes. I
have not flown with it yet so I do not know if I will need an external
gps. So far so good.


Take it outside, wait until its got a GPS fix, and walk in a straight
line along a footpath. Within 10-20m Iglide should work out which way
you're going and orient the map accordingly. Turn round and walk back:
the map should rotate 180 degrees.

That's my usual test for a new install of XCDSoar or LK8000 on any gadget
with a built-in GPS, so it should also work with Iglide.
