task not completed ClearNavII
I am new to ClearNav2. I have planned and flown two FAI tasks using the ClearNav2. ClearNav gave me a start time and changed from the start to first way point and then to the second way point, and then to the finish but no finish was acknowledged. I had the same task in my Nano and my Oudie, both recorded a completed task and the Oudie gave me a "task finished" announcement. This sequence applies to both flights. When the flights were analyzed on SeeYou, the files from the Nano and Oudie produced task completed analysis while the files from the ClearNav in one case said no valid start and in the other only the start was acknowledged. Does ClearNavII give a task completed statement like the Oudie? This is very frustrating. Please help me figure out what I am doing wrong. I would be happy to email the flight files to anyone who is interested and could help.Thanks ,

Both LXNav and ClearNav use funky GPS modules that take forever to get the time right, which causes a backwards jump minutes after achieving lock. Try powering on the unit, wait for lock, then wait 10 minutes before taking off. -Dave |

I see you also posted the question on the clear nav forum. You'll get some help.
I was frustrated with mine when I first started using it, until I slowly started learning how it worked and what was going on. You'll get there, and probably like it when you do. |

I guess the developers thought the typical user wouldn't need that announcement :-). There is an issue with GPS time offsets as Dave mentions. It doesn't take anything like ten minutes to get the proper time, but it's good practice to have the computer on for at least 5 minutes before flight. The work around in the event of a problem log due to the time jump is to D/L again at 4 second interval. The thing that's coughing up errors in the analysis is an out of sequence time stamp. best, Evan Ludeman |

If you put the "time since start" or the "time to finish" box on your screen you know the task completed when they stop counting.

Snide? No.... It's pretty /obvious/ to most of us when we finish a task! Putting an announcement on the device is at best a video game like distraction (you're probably busy with your airport arrival & landing). The purpose of the Nav device is to give the pilot useful information in flight. Whether or not you task is valid, complete and suitable for the record books or daily win is the stuff of post flight analysis. Evan Ludeman |

Sorry Evan but I disagree.
I fly with an Oudie 2. It tells me when I finish a task and the average speed on the task upon crossing the finish line. I really like that feature. I'm not knocking ClearNav for not having it but I do think it would be an improvement to add it. Lou |

Could this discussion be the problem with a recent flight? At the end of a two hour flight, OLC recording stopped about ten miles from closing my triangle. There was no power interruption and the ClearNav screen never blanked out. Any thoughts here?
