Doesn't like the touch screen part. Doesn't work well in a plane.

I wonder if the APIC software will run under Wine, the Windows emulator for linux. The little OLPC computers are starting to show up on Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:34:51 GMT Mike Dwyer http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/122 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/122 Virtually none of the new PC's are sunlight readable. This Fujitsu has a reflective LCD screen and needs light from the front in order to see it. It loves Sat, 24 Oct 2009 04:36:46 GMT RV7 builder http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/121 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/121 Thanks for the pic & info; that's a really nice looking panel. I'll have to think about it for the RV-7 I'm building, but I probably need something a bit Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:12:40 GMT Mike Dwyer http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/120 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/120 Hi Charlie, You didn't say how large you want to get tho... My 10.3" Fujitsu ST4121 works well at $300 or so for a 1GHZ with 750K memory and sunlight Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:03:49 GMT chaz http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/119 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/119 Hello, I'm currently running the free version of APIC nav software on an HP hx2795b. I like it would like to upgrade to the new pay to play version, but I'm Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:09:02 GMT Randy Russell http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/118 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/118 The HP4700 was the one recommended by APIC. It does not have a 9 pin serial or a USB. It has the 22 pin that the charging system uses. I have found info that Sun, 12 Jul 2009 21:57:02 GMT Mike Dwyer http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/117 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/117 That is clearer. First does your HP4700 have a serial connector or is it USB only? If it does have a 9 pin serial output all you need is a female 9 pin and 3 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:20:23 GMT 0425 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/116 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/116 I should be a little clearer. I have the D100 Dynon unit, Dynon heated pitot, Dynon pitch and roll servos and Dynon EDC10. I guess what I am really looking Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:21:47 GMT Mike Dwyer http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/115 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/115 Dynon has a proprietary autopilot servo that I doubt very much will work with APIC. Dynon isn't saying how to drive their servos other than hook them to Sun, 12 Jul 2009 15:32:50 GMT Randy Russell http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/114 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/114 I have the APIC Pro software on a HP4700. The software works great, the Bluetooth GPS works great, but I cannot get any response from Apic on how to interface Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:30:48 GMT jpgipson http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/113 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/113 Thanks for passing along what works for you. I purchased an i.Trek M5+ and since my life p1610 did not have built in blue tooth, I purchased a Micro Bluetooth Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:30:44 GMT 0425 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/112 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/112 I use the i.Trek M5+ bluetooth GPS with my PDA. Works excellent, and not any wires to worry about. I am assuming your tablet has bluetooth. Inexpensive as Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:05:12 GMT jpgipson http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/111 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/APIC_Group/message/111 I downloaded the trial version of APIC map and I like what I see. I tried the different features in sim mode and I especially like the approach plates.

But the MAP version is only $10. The pro is $20. I actually think this is a better deal for us users. Especially if we don't update it every
