Security of downloaded *.cai and *.igc files
Equipment: Cambridge GPS-NAV v6.0 Cambridge LNAV v5.8 iPAQ 3950 running Glide Navigator II v2.41 Goddard PS-5a power converter installed SeeYou (PC) v3.2 Hi Everyone, I'm frustrated. I downloaded and installed GNII v2.41 a couple of weeks ago, and I've had several problems with all of my magic ever since. Some of the squawks I've been able to fix, but on others I'm completely stumped! I need your help. My biggest concern is that at the end of my flight, when I download the *.cai and *.igc files to my iPAQ, I get the message "security of files unknown," or something like that. The first time it happened, I converted the *.cai file from the iPAQ to *.igc format through SeeYou (PC), but it flunked the OLC security (no or bad G-record). Having SeeYou convert the file has up until now worked fine for the OLC, even though I know they don't recommend it. To help troubleshoot the problem, on my next flight I again got the "security unknown" message after downloading the files to my iPAQ, but this time I removed my GPS-NAV from my glider and connected it directly to my PC and downloaded the files again directly to my PC. I again converted the *.cai file to *.igc through SeeYou, but it flunked OLC again, for the bad G-record. While it is possible that the OLC no longer likes my technique of using SeeYou to convert the files, it doesn't explain why I'm getting a bad security message after downloading my flight to the iPAQ. Any ideas? Next problem: This may be a coincidence, but it may be related to the first problem. Immediately after installing GNII v2.41 to my iPAQ, my LNAV started to give me bad glide data. My iPAQ would give me accurate altitude required to a fix, while the LNAV would say something stupid, like requiring 12,000 feet to glide 1 mile. The iPAQ and the GPS-NAV were both showing the same active fix, and both were using the fixes from the GPS-NAV database. After two days of checking everything 5 times, I discovered that a soft-boot of my LNAV solved the problem. (I went to the LNAV configure screen, adjusted any parameter, then exited the configure mode, which forced the soft-boot.) If I then hard-booted the LNAV (by turning the power off), the problem returned. Any ideas? Safe soaring! "CF" |
