Here's my concern: I bought a transceiver on eBay recently for a bargain price. It was a no-display, voice cue setup. I sent for the manual - but no way to convert the Chinese voice cues to English. Too bad! Brian W |

The same device, but cheaper model 480x272 is working OK.

5" PNA Question
I've bought two already, and have them set up with LX800 (XC Soar
fork). They work great. I am buying two more for firends. I have yet to try to get the serial to work. |

Actually I think Andrew means the LK8000 program that Coolwind is developing after forking from the XCSoar program. I just got back from a 9 week (!) trip to China and specifically looked at several of this type of unit while I was there. I had the chance to try the 7" version of this unit (also 800x480) with a recent version of the development beta of LK8000. Worked just fine after I got the GPS serial selected properly. These units are running Windows CE version 6 (occasionally 5.5) and the OS is much more exposed than in most of the units sold in the US. That makes it much easier to actually switch between using different GPS programs without doing a reset. I was also impressed with the screen brightness and clarity. Most of the units I was testing had the protective film on the screen and it hindered the visibility a little. I'm sure it would look even better without the protective film. The one I was looking at also used the SD Micro version of external memory. Much better and usually much faster to read and write the data. I didn't buy one because my experience is that they're cheaper to buy in the US (made in China, go figure!) Feel free to ask questions. I'll try to answer from what I learned while I was there.

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.
