User Waypoints

The waypoints would need to be intially generated/maintained in something like Flitestar, and then exported to the programmable terrain card for subsequent upload to any number of GNS units. I have been doing this with great success for several months now since the advent of v3.20 of the GNS firmware   Eduardo rkaplan Administrator Joined:  Sun Jan 22nd, 2006 Location:  Uniontown, Pennsylvania USA Posts:  393 Status:  Offline  Posted: Sat Nov 21st, 2009 01:16 am Quote Reply Thanks for the info... ____________________ Richard Kaplan, CFII rkaplan@flyimc.com http://www.flyimc.com  Current time is 02:47 pm
