Hi,
I'am not quite sure this is the right forum to post my question, let me try (I also found some specific gps forums) I just bought a garmin gpsmap 76s mainly for use in a glider (hence the post in the current forum) I wonder if someone has some experience with such device for two points. First point: I bought it because it has interesting feature such as glide ratio and glide ratio to target. The latter is perfect, but I found the glide ratio function difficult to use or at least difficult to take advantage of. The calculation seems to be done on instant value without any "smoothing", as a glider moves a lot the result can vary from very low value to glide ratio higher than 500!! within a couple of seconds. Have you experienced such behavior? Is this a user error? A bug? Second point: to draw airspace zone it seems possible to use waypoints and routes. Do you know other possibilities? Using a mapsource format compatible for instance Thanks in advance for your answers Gilles |
