For this reason, I have Dynon EFIS D-100 / EMS-D10 combo and want to add a GPS source to the former. I see the recommended list of admissible GPS's from Dynon but none possesses the attributes of small size to acquiesce to my needs, as above. The D-100 needs are for the following GPS sentences: $GPRMC $GPRMB, $GPGGA, and either $GPBOD or $GPAPB. I have tried BU303 and TinyTrak3 but neither satisfies the above list, as $GPRMB seems unpopular with miniature receivers. MY QUEST: A small receiver [Lord knows there are small enough models now] which provides the menu above but is not a full-size panel mount model. Can you provide any sources meeting this stupid need?

Check it out: http://home.mira.net/~gnb/gps/nmea.html#gprmb GPRMB provides information about your current position in relation to your next waypoint. To my knowledge, you cannot set waypoints in the TinyTrak3 GPS without (at least) doing some code writing. I would guess that the D-100 doesn't *need* it, but it will never provide navigation information without it. You need a GPS with an interface that allows the setting of waypoints. --Daniel On Apr 9, 2011, at 10:34 AM, Fergus Kyle wrote: > This may not be the ideal forum for my topic, but I try harder: > > The Europa instrument panel is a bit more than normal half-size for the dials I want to include.

Two years after revision 12 hit the press, we're still waiting :-) I know we can soldier on with the interim drawing, but wondered if the IR alternator controller was ready to be born.
