Connecting Winpilot to LNAV

Robin,

WinPilot ADV can be used with a GPS-NAV. Please see my website for a
GPS14-Kit. It includes a power converter and the cables. The kit
connects you to the serial port of the GPS-NAV. The phone connector
still connects to the L-NAV.
Some say that you can power you ipaq with the GPS-NAV . The problems
with this is that the power converter in the GPS-NAV is not rated to
power an Ipaq and may pop the internal thermal fuse in the GPS-Nav.

To Set WinPilot ADV for the GPS NAV start the WinPilot Sim and go menu
about under hardware select GPS_NAV1. Shut down WinPilot normally to
save the setting. Connect to the GPS-NAV make sure the green light on
the GPS-NAV is blinking (means you have a GPS lock) Start WinPilot if
the Setting page come up this is the correct setting, if not do the
above and select GPS-NAV2. One of these setting will initialize the
GPS NAV.

Please see my website or call if you have additional questions.

On many iPaqs there is a setting to insist on a "slow USB charge
(rate)" (StartSettingsSystemPowerUSB Charging). There is a
chance that this puts less load on the supply circuit and could
avoid blowing fuses.

Thanks for all of this guys. My chum (whose glider it is) has worked
out what to do and is going to put in a separate power supply for the
PDA.

Cheers
