When I used a Cambridge 25, I also had an iPAQ 3950 running Glide

did its magic and uploaded to OLC. Quick, easy, and almost fool-

Brad, not sure, but I kind of doubt it. =A0You might look at your

=A0If it does, try saving it with a .cai file extension, and try

And for what it is worth relative to SeeYou, etc, I am talking to

Later viewing is done using the upgraded AeroExplorer II.
Still Old School for sure,

It might be possible to use SeeYou without buying it. Andej doesn't
disable many features in his trial versions of SY and SYM, I flew 15
flights on the trial version of SYM before buying it.

Yeah I did this, too. Actually that was a great selling tool since I
bought a license when my trial expired :-)

Trial (Free, unlicenced) SeeYou runs for two weeks with full
functionality, after that bits begin to stop working, but I believe the
downloader will keep on working forever. For Cambridge 20/25 it works
better with a USB-Serial converter (it's a timing thing apparently)
There are plenty of free programs which will do your Cambridge 10/20/25
download and conversion, including Cambridge utility and Cambridge Aero
Explorer (both available freely from the Cambridge Instruments' website),
there are also the old Dos download and validate programs if you've got
really ancient hardware to run it on!

For most everything except Cambridge, you can use the IGC Shell program
and appropriate dll
