Default LX NAV offers new V7 Vario

Hi,

If I remember correctly, the LX1600 did not have any control knobs or other
user-interface - therefore it was necessary to configure it and change the
MacCready on it with a PDA.

Since the LXNAV V7 has a knob / push button user-interface that can do all
setup and in-flight changes, there is no need for SeeYou to have a special
setup menu for it.

SeeYou Mobile has a menu just for configuring the LX1600.
Can that menu be used also for the V7 or Naviter will have to release an
update?

Paul,

Many things can be change on the Old LX1600 & New LX1606 on two
pages of the SeeYou Mobile software. Pushing buttons and twirling
knobs is very tedious in comparison. The V7 also has two way
communication with the software so it would make sense that pages of
SeeYou may be developed to set up the V7. I beleive the V7 will need
to be defined as an input Device for the SeeYou software, so that will
require some programming. This is the case with other variometers
such as the CAI 302, Tasman, Borgelt, Westerboer, etc.

For those that don't use in flight navigation software it is nice that
the settings can be changed with the knob. But their are many
advantages to setup pages in the software.

Polar. MC +/- & Vol +/- is also much easier to change in the SeeYou
software by Nav Boxes. Especially when you have a large sunlight
readable screen like the Ultimate Le. No need to go two places for
changes.

Lets see what LXNAV & SeeYou say before jumping to conclusions.
