Default iPAQ Touchscreen Difficulty

Has anyone experienced touchscreen problems with their iPAQ in heat?
Any

Yesterday with ground temperature at 90F I had great difficulty after
landing in selecting the ConnectMe program in Settings, then in
commanding various actions to download. I'd get things above and below
the item I wanted, or I'd see a shimmer when I pressed the on screen
button but would get no action. Today at 70F there's no problem at
all.

My iPAQ is a 3760, it doesn't have a screen protector, and the little
groove around the edge of the screen seems clean


Maybe try carrying a small spray can of "Component Cooler" from Radio
Shack or wherever?

Regards,

-Doug

Default iPAQ Touchscreen Difficulty

I was using an iPaq hx2410. In the heat, the screen would constantly
flicker and it looked like an old TV with the vertical hold out of
whack. Totally unreadable and unusuable, but it did keep recording
the igc file.

I now run a Navigon 2120 Max, works nicely. Can't connect it to a
flight instrument, but I don't have one that can send the data,
anyway.
