Hi,

I have found the LXNAV Nano units to be extremely reliable. Usually when one shuts down when it shouldn't, it is because it was not properly charged.

Best Regards,

Original Nano has nightmarish user interface, row of leds and fiddly microscopic switch that you can also press. Better to get one with display, you at least know if it's up and running without user manual to decode led colors.

I have to disagree. I turn the Nano on, make sure it has 2 blinking green lights, and I'm done until I turn it off at the end of the flight.

It doesn't get much simpler than that.

Except when it spontaneously turns itself off on the grid (in WGC, of course), while auto-off setting was disabled. It is ok unit but you just cannot trust these toys.


Hey Paul, I have received my Nano and try to enter task data. I have a .cup file store in the system folder, but I can not open the file on my phone (or create one) and can't open the file in NanoConfig either. On my phone, adding a waypoint shows an error that I have to go to the menu button, but there is no menu button in the app. On PC it doesn't give any error at all, it just doesn't show up in the config.

Other question, for logging without that cup file and free distance, do I still need to configure start and finish waypoints? I'd like to upload all my files to OnlineContest.
