SeeYou Mobile Question (units)

I've just started to look a little closer at the features and settings
in SeeYou mobile. What I can't figure out is how to change the units
for the distance numbers that show up next to the waypoints on the
map. These are the ones that get a green box around them when you're
within glide range. I'm assuming the units are kilometers. Anyone know
how to change this? I've been through the user manual, but there's no
reference to this map feature at all. At least not that I can find.

Thanks,
Dave

Are you looking at L/D required to reach the waypoint or the Distance.
Look at MenuSettingsWpts labelOne and labelTwo

Distance units are set in MenuSettingsUnits. They can also be set
when you use the Mobile Wizard to synch from SeeYou.

Thanks Darryl. I didn't even consider that the numbers shown could be
L/D. I assumed it was a distance number since it counts down as I get
closer. Of course L/D required would do the same. I don't have my PDA
with me right now, but I'll look at those two labels in the waypoints
settings the first chance I get. I know where the units settings are,
and that's what confused me. I was changing the units, but these
numbers on the map were not changing at all. Makes total sense now. I
guess if I would have had the L/D (nav box) displayed, I might have
noticed the correlation.

Thanks again,
Dave

Another question for you. Do you know if the 302 sends all the
necessary data to SeeYou to calculate wind?

Hi Dave,

Yes. SeeYou gets airspeed and wind data from the 302. The 302 calculates
the wind - not SeeYou. If SeeYou does not get wind data from the flight
computer it can calculate wind while circling, but the 302 also calculates
wind while cruising.

Let me know if you ever want some one-on-one phone support for SeeYou. I do
that quite often and my customers tell me it is worth every penny.

Thanks Paul!

Yes, I am already aware of the excellent service you provide. Don't
know if you realize it, but I'm the same Dave that spoke to you
regarding the Dell Axim connectivity today. I'm looking forward to
getting the PDA integrated into my cockpit for next season. I'll be
talking to you soon to follow up on the Axim cabling.

No, the 302 flight computer calculates wind. The 302A flight recorder
does not...

Paul - ah are you sure? SeeYou Mobile also gets true airspeed and
other data from the 302. SeeYou Mobile is quite capable of using those
to guestimate non-circling winds. And it was my impression that it did
this and does not directly use the calculated wind data (that is also
passed from the 302). It certainly appears to behave that way to me.

Dave FYI the Cambridge dataport reference manual is an interesting
read, and SeeYou has a terminal mode (MenuSettingsHardwareTerminal)
you can look at what is going over the wire. That has helped me in the
past at least understand some behavior of SeeYou (and file a bug :-))
- SeeYou support is pretty darn good, check out their Forums. See

Hi,

I stand corrected. Andrej at SeeYou confirmed that SeeYou uses the airspeed
information from the 302 and calculates the wind independently. It does not
use the 302 supplied wind calculation. The 302 calculates only a single
wind number (if I remember correctly). SeeYou calculates winds at several
altitudes (if I remember correctly).

That would explain why some pilots see different numbers in SeeYou than they
do on their 303 display.
