Does anyone have any experience of Bluetooth GPS units? I was considering
using my iPAQ as a moving map and thought that a Bluetooth remote GPS unit
would reduce the amount of wiring cluttering the cockpit and I could also
use it in other, hired aircraft. But I was wondering whether the Bluetooth
signal might interfere with other avionics. Any opinions gratefully
received.

Rick Hi!
Does anyone have any experience of Bluetooth GPS units?
Yes. The Tom-Tom Unit is the one we have looked at and used. It is excellent
and we have just ordered a iPaq 5550 with HP Bluetooth GPS from
MicroWarehouse for a hopeless Navigator and member of staff!
I was considering using my iPAQ as a moving map and thought that a Bluetooth
remote GPS unitwould reduce the amount of wiring cluttering the cockpit and
I could also use it in other, hired aircraft.
I guess you will change GPS database as a Human Voice telling you when to
turn left into Acacia Avenue may well aggravate.
But I was wondering whether the Bluetooth signal might interfere with other
avionics. Any opinions gratefully received.
I'm not sure but I thought the Bluetooth Frequency was 2.4Ghz and it must be
fairly low power as range is 30' max.
As soon as we receive the Unit I=B9ll try and talk Paddy Clarke in G-KIMM to
get airborne and test.
Regards
Gerry

Yeah - I use a GlobalSat BT308 GPS with the AnywhereMap s/w on my iPAQ
(other brands are available).
Works fine & GPS stays locked-on well. BT connection to the iPAQ is stable
(once kick-started - a 2 minute exercise, but that's a Micro$oft fault with
the BT drivers, apparently).
The company website is: www.globalsat.com.tw/english/products.php & see a
review of it here: www.pocketgps.co.uk/globalsat-bt308.php
A comparison of most models is here:
www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=55 with an updated article including
15 BT GPSs coming soon...
I bought mine (new) on eBay for much less than RRP & it works fine with my
iPAQ 5550 - battery lasts ~7 hrs, better than the iPAQ!!
One thing I particularly liked was the interchangeable plug-pins on the
charger (just slot in country-specific pins on to the transformer) which
also works with the iPAQ; so only one charger to take on long trips away
(don't forget the iPAQ power adaptor if you have a model newer than 37xx
tho' -- been there, done that!!)

Hi Rick,
It should not interfere, the power is max 10 mW or so. I plan to do the
same, and will be using pocketFMS, free downloadable software, really
amazing. Look at www.pocketfms.com there is also some advice about the
hardware. It's beta, and will be shareware.
It gets the maps, metars and tafs, terrain elevation and nav data from the
internet, a slow, but also free process. I've been playing with it so far
without GPS, as flightplanner and really like it. I hope it will be as
good as gps as well.

Tony, I am using a "AMSAFE" four point harness. The company in on the web @ wwww.amsafe.com The units have an inertial reel which works fantastic in terms of comfort. I am able to secure the lap belt low and tight and there is no tendency for the shoulder straps to cause the lap belt to ride up as I have found on the standard issue Europa harness.

For those who have been patiently waiting for the members-only pages
on the Europa Club website to come back to life, I am pleased to
annouce that we seem to have got them working again (although not all
the content is fully restored just yet).
If you haven't yet registered for access, or have been having trouble
getting in and were advised to wait until things got fixed, please
try the new registration system and see how it goes now. The sign-in
page should be available from all the links that refer to it
throughout the site, including the one on the opening page
<http://www.europaclub.org.uk>.
Sorry it took so long!
regards
Rowland

I've tried to hunt down a supplier of these in Australasia but with no

and, if so, where did you source them from.

If anyone has sold (or bought) a 914 powered Europa in the past 12
months (with or without CS Prop) and is willing to tell me in confidence
the sale price I'd appreciate you contacting me off group with the
information.
I need to put a value on my kit and, as there is no one in NZ able to
indepedently value a Europa, I need to get examples of current sell
prices.
Regards
Tony
