    GPS Testing NOTAM

    Not 100% sure but my Garmin GLO unit has both US GPS and Russian GLOSNASS receivers in it. I might not even notice a GPS outage. But, never tried it either.

    Must haves for PPL VFR?

    I think this is related to VFR and the question at hand; Do many of you carry Topo maps like the ones DeLorme prints in book form for each state? My background includes back county navigation by topo map and compass. I find that they have far more visually identifiable references than a...

    Garmin acquires FltPlan

    I have other experiences with Garmin. Like when they bought DeLorme which was struggling in the map business but had a great line of handheld GPS units and integrated them with their PC based Topo maps. I thought the two products were the best on the market. When Garmin bought them they...

    Just finish assembling the stratux kit! :-)

    Plus Foreflight only runs on Apple. So for the Android users and those wanting external GPS Stratux is a good option. You can always use the internal GPS on Apple but I like an external GPS properly positioned. I am sure there is a market if uAvionix is not married to Foreflight. A unit...

    Just finish assembling the stratux kit! :-)

    I have built multiple of them without any issues. Some of the assembly depends on which case you select. I use the Summitlink case available on Amazon because of its mounting options. Regarding the cigarette lighter adapter: These adapters are designed for use as a battery charger and...

    [na]what's a good android MP3 player?[na]

    I use Poweramp on my Samsung S8 and like it. I don't listen to a ton of music stored locally and can't compare it to others but it works well for me. 15 day free trial then just $3.99 for unlock. 1.2 millon ratings at 4.5 and 50 million downloads. This seems so basic that the default app...

    Awesome! Tnx. Edit; just noticed your location is New Bern NC. I spent about 18 months at MCAS Cherry Point

    Experimenting with my Garmin GLO

    BTW; since a couple of you posted you no longer use your Garmin GLO, let me know if you want to sell it. I have a friend who is working towards his ATP and likes mine. He might be interested in a used one. Let me know and I will pass along the info. Tnx.

    Experimenting with my Garmin GLO

    Didn't expect such a quick response from Garmin. Their email said to call them at 866-739-5687 to purchase the battery from them. Cost is $24.99 and add $5.00 shipping. Can't think of a good reason this is not available through a dealer or the Garmin website but at least we know the answer.

    Experimenting with my Garmin GLO

    Did some poking around with Google and found one reference to the battery which is 010-10840-00. I found cross references to; BTC-GM10SL,361-00031-00, IA4V310A2. I see that the Garmin Mobile 10X which is the same form factor lists the 010-10840-00 battery. Interesting that the 10x...

    Experimenting with my Garmin GLO

    I have owned maybe a dozen Garmin GPS units over the years and sent two in for repair. On one that was my fault for breaking the glass and told them so, they fixed under warranty anyway. I would check with them and see what they offer. The battery is user replaceable but I do not see them...

    Experimenting with my Garmin GLO

    I have had my GLO for several years starting with a laptop then moving to an Android tablet for use in my 4wd. We went to the mountains and used a topo map by Delorme and I really liked how well the GLO worked for that. So now I have been using it with a Galaxy Tab E running Fltplan Go for...

    Mostly need the connector but also could use the tray for this unit. Anyone have a spare?

    Checklist app?

    Interesting points on pro and con. But to answer the OP; FltPlan Go has a checklist function. You can either select a standard or roll your own with your PC on their website and then sync it to your handheld device. The checklist can be edited if necessary. You can also share your...

    FltPlan Go x Foreflight

    Just a note on FltPlan Go; the Android version has an issue I confirmed with their tech support. I am using a Samsung Tab E and an S8 phone. The regional radar data from ADS-B will at times blank out between updates from the ground station. It comes back but it should persist between...
