Rand Baldwin of SoaringCafe.com and I recorded some product overview videos of the LXNAV Nano and LX 9000 at the 2011 Soaring Society of America Conference.  There was no script or preparation, the video simply shows me giving a quick overview of each product.  The focus, and lighting are not great, but the videos do a good job of introducing the products.  I think customers interested in the products will find the videos interesting and useful.  Thank you Rand Baldwin for taking the initiative to film the videos and make them available!

 

This is extremely cool!  The LX 8000 and LX 9000 screens already look a lot like the SeeYou Mobile screens many of us are accustomed to.  Now you can place data boxes (just like Nav Boxes in SeeYou Mobile) anywhere you desire, on any screen.  You can even add new screens.  In SeeYou Mobile I use the 2 different "map" views to display different Nav Boxes.  One map view has just the basic information I need while on course.  the 2nd map view has more detailed information that I don't look at very often.  Now it is possible to do the same thing with the LX 8000 and LX 9000.  Plus the ability to create extra screens (pages) means that you can create pages that are to be used for general cross-country tasks, and other pages to be used for contest flying - and you can select any page you want by simply turning a knob in flight. 

 

The LXSim simulator is a FREE, fully functional simulator of the LX8000 and LX9000, which works in the Windows operating system. You can select and replay any flight stored in IGC file format. Press Ctrl+Enter to enter full screen mode. Click on the SD card symbol to insert or remove SD card.

Tip - To replay a flight log, go to the File > Open menu item at the top, left the LXSim window.

Tip - To view vector maps in the USA, you need to run SeeYou on the PC and use the "Mobile Wizard" (found in the file menu) to export maps for your area.  Then copy the generated ".cit" file to the LXSim's "Data" folder (found in C:\Program Files\LXSim\).  Then change the name of the existing "earth.cit" file to "earth-old.cit" (or something like that).  Then change the name of the file you generated in SeeYou to "earth.cit".
