No, I didn't mention that, you confuse forum members. As I said, I practically have no basemap, except for some sketchy coastlines. I cited the Garmin case: a) good basemap b) their basemap can be modified by the user I could have added MGL Odyssey...

There is no "screenshots" directory on the stick and I have only one USB stick plugged in. Even if I had two sticks connected, I would expect a warning, but not "screenshot in progress".

Although I downloaded base_map_south-america_6.dup I cannot see any any roads nor rivers in our region (Panama) and the coastlines are extremely sketchy, to be polite. I accept that Latin America is not Dynon's market and we are not entitled to the attention US customers get, but why provide...

Hi, when I press "screenshot" (button 2 and 7), I get screenshot in progress but no screen is shot on my USB stick. What can be the reason ? Any ideas? How are screenshot files named? what type ? .jpg?

As I said, I am a dumb pilot and somewhat slow understanding, so please explain: Why can Skyview not show me a bearing it knows, without changing my current waypoint/FP? I only referred to the nearest menu to prove that the information and interface type exist, not to go there. So I consider...

"poor mans off-route-RBI" thank you for your response, Ian, it clarified a lot. Originally, I didn't want to make a feature request. I thought I was making a mistake in the BRG setup, so obvious it was to me that a bearing needle could point to some arbitrary waypoint. But ok, I will stand in...

No. In a classic config I can make them point to any VOR/NDB I want. In Skyview not (without going there). I humbly admit I don't know what a "nav source" is. As I said when I started this thread, I wanted the discussion restricted to a single GPS only system, "skyview", in order not to confuse...

Don't be agressive and insulting, Steve, try to understand what I'm saying: 1) In a GPS system there is no need for separate VOR/ADF inputs, so asking to connect additional receivers just to get an (off-route) bearing is odd, very odd. It's just a question of computing two bearings and display...

Ok, my pilot colleagues, I accept that: You have a map, you have Jeppesen, and you agree with Mr. Dynon that off-route bearings are a thing of the past - even those to my aunts chicken farm. So let me ask you - and Dynon - a last question: Why did the Skyview programmers waist the money of...

First, the fact that Dynon is not IFR rated does not mean it should not be used in training IFR procedures in VMC. IFR procedures have a lot of cross bearings. Second, let's put it the other way around: Dynon is not a stupid GPS for bikers. Dynon endeavors to simulate classical avionic...

interesting. Please explain in terms of Skyview menu operations!

Hello Mr. Dynon, thank you for your explanations. I think you are prisoner of a strange paradigm: that a BRG needle must be related to the aircraft's route. Strange, because in classical instrument panels this is not the case: you can set a "needle" to whatever off-route navaids you want. Even...

Seems like my point is not understood, so let my try it once again: 1) You're on a flight plan, currently from VOR A to VOR B. 2) You want to know when you are abeam VOR C (which is not on your FP) and what is the bearing to your aunt's chicken farm (not on your flight plan neither). 3)...

maybe I botched the attachment... Mr. 60av8tor, let me repeat how much I appreciate your comments (especially since Dynon does not "chime in" this discussion - they know why). But, please: look at the attached screenshot - just the nearest airports: Skyview knows each bearing instantly. So...

thank you for trying to explain Dynon's design errors. We don't speak the same language: I don't want to tell "nav sources" to go places, I want to tell BRG1 to point to some waypoint off my route. Skyview, like each GPS, knows all bearings to all waypoints, so its the simplest of all matters...

thanks for your reply. 1) ...which obivously doesn't make sense. I still can't believe that I have to buy a nav radio just to get bearings to an off route VOR which Skyview has in its database ! 2) So when I connect a handheld GPS and select it as source for one of the BRGs, <b>where does...

Can somebody please make some clear statements how BRG1/BRG2 are used in Skyview-only systems (no SL30, no nav radio, no second GPS, nothing) ? 1) With the HSI set to my next WP, can I set BRG1 to some arbitrary off-route (Skyview-)Waypoint and BRG2 to some other ? 2) Can a handheld GPS (e.g...
