Default SeeYou Mobile with SN10B data

Thanks you, yhall is making me blush...

But there is no reason to duplicate this wind on SeeYou Mobile...


There is no reason to duplicate the *measurement*.
There is every reason to accept the wind from the SN10
and use it in any calculations in the PDA.

AFAIK true or indicated airspeed is not available in SN-10 NMEA
output which means we can't compute the wind in straight flight when
connected to the SN-10.


As both our customers have requested, *please* just take the
wind from the SN10, as some of your competitors (Pocket
StrePla and others) are doing...

Due to the lack of TAS/IAS in SN-10's NMEA the only benefit is the
vario data that comes from the SN-10...


No, if you would use the SN10 wind, you can display which
alternates can be reached accurately...

...while we are away flying....

Looks like the season is about done here ! Too cold, short days,
time to get to the winter projects and the next SN10 upgrades ;-)

See ya, Dave "YO electric"
