My understanding it's just a WiFi stick in an USB slot on the LX computer. Any
WiFi connected to the internet, whether it's airport provided, hangar with
private WiFi, hotspot on your phone, as long as you know the WiFi ID and
password, you can send files to OLC and other organizations. WiFi also let's it
download files it needs, like Skysight weather.

Just curious but how does that work?Â* Does the LX computer have a built-in cell
radio or some other means to get to OLC?Â* Do you need a separate data plan?Â* Or
does it connect to your cell phone to upload the igc file?

LX9000 owners cannot upload to OLC?? Is that just Germany or worldwide?
Hopefully the LX8030 I order will be allowed to upload... good grief that's
half the point of having it.


This was the case for a short while.Â* As of early April, I've been able to
upload the flights to OLC directly from the LX9070.Â* You have to click a few
checkmarks within the interface to agree to this and that, but it's doable.
It's all been sorted out, and you can now upload flights directly to OLC from
the unit without having to go to the website from your phone or an
internet-connected computer.
