Cambridge 302A/303/SNav question

Thanks Paul
I now have the 302A feeding a 303 and an S-Nav which works out well for
me.
I know I haven't got all the features that a GPS-NAV would provide but
the ease of use and features of the 302A far outweighs these other
functions.

Hi,

The same is true of an L-NAV - it prefers data from a GPS-NAV to data from a
302A or any other GPS. The latest versions of L-NAV and S-NAV firmware
worked the same with GPS-NAVs and PDAs.

It would be great if a 302A sent the same data as a GPS-NAV, and acted as a
data bridge like a GPS-NAV does (sending L-NAV or S-NAV data to a PDA and
allowing MacCready exchange between the PDA and L-NAV or S-NAV) but it
doesn't.

However, there are many advantages to the 302A when used with a PDA. It can
provide a lot more current for the 5A PDA power output so it can power the
latest iPAQs (the GPS-NAV can't). It also meets more recent IGC
requirements so it can be used for World records and it provides the flight
log as an IGC file rather than a CAI file. Also, it holds 1500 waypoints
compared to the GPS-NAV's 250 and it holds 100 hours of flight log compared
to 10 or so for the GPS-NAV.

Good Soaring,

Hi Bob,

The 302A can be connected to the 303 and also send GPS data to another
device. Two different data connectors are used.

However, you are much better off connecting a GPS-NAV to an S-NAV because
the GPS-NAV can send destination elevation to the S-NAV while the 302A
does
not.

What if you sent same (302A) to an L-NAV ?
