Mich=E8le _____ From: achabert2003 [mailto:no_reply@yahoogroups.com] Subject: [ExperimentalAvionics] Re: GPS Pilot SARL Hello, Many thanks for your interests in GPS Pilot software. My name is Annie Chabert and I am responsible of GPS Pilot on-line support. We are located in France, near Grenoble. Because of GPS Pilot is an e-business dedicated to worldwide customers, we have favorized the communication by email rather than phone line. Indeed, anyone around the world can reach us via email 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We usually insured an answer within the day. If you have any questions about our software, feel free to contact us at support@GPSpilot.com For more info about our product I invite you to visit our site http://GPSpilot.com and also our reviews section at http://www.gpspilot.com/products/reviews/index.shtml Annie Chabert support@GPSPilot.com --- In ExperimentalAvionics@yahoogroups.com, Mich=E8le Delsol wrote: > I looked at the www.gpspilot.com website.
