LX Mini Map Series

The LX navigation Mini Map uses the latest ultra bright sunlight-readable touch screen colour display in various packages to suit specific needs and budgets.

LX Mini map is a Windows CE 5.0 running device which is supported by a sunshine readable colour display with backlight and touch panel. An aluminum housing makes the unit extremely robust. One back mounted 9P SUB D type connector is used for power and also for data input. The unit does not have a built in GPS receiver and needs external GPS source. (eg Flight Recorder, Flarm etc)The unit is designed and produced by LX navigation and therefore meets all likely glider pilot requirements. Only high quality materials and components are used and this should help to guarantee a long in-service life and, as with other LX products, should make the Mini Map system supportable for many years.
The SD card system makes it possible to run navigation programs directly from the SD card, after using the auto run function which is factory implemented. Thus, immediately after power on the unit is ready for use without any pilot manipulation or input!
Mounting frames are also available and make it possible to have an integral panel mounted solution; alternatively the unit can be installed anywhere else in the cockpit.

LX 166 Variometer   * NEW *

Electronic Variometer with final glide calculator, NMEA and Flarm input, plug and play connectable to a PDA

LX 166 is a modern vario / speed command system and a logical follow-on of the well known LX 160, and now with some navigation features.

Overview

The system consists of two 57 mm units of the conventional size. The vario unit itself has no controls and mainly serves as a vario indicator with audio. All controls and a graphic display are available on the control unit. Six push buttons and one rotary switch ensures effective and user friendly operation.

The unit is capable of receiving NMEA and also Flarm data at several baud rates thanks to its auto detection function. A stand alone PDA port serves as data and power source for a PDA, a Bluetooth option is also available. LX 166 is plug-and-play connectable to Colibri, LX 20, VL and any Flarm unit. All mentioned units when connected are powered from LX 166. PDA output is capable of driving SeeYou Mobile, Winpilot and some other programs

A very special function implemented in the LX 166 is continuous presentation of final glide to home airport, as the unit memorizes take off position. Otherwise the final glide is based on data received from GPS. Additional pilot information includes distance flown display subject to pilot selection.

Operation with a GPS offers a wind calculation of wind direction and wind speed.
