No. I use a GlobalSat bluetooth 20 channel GPS navigation receiver (GPS mouse) with my laptop which is connected to a 5"TFT screen in the cockpit and it works a treat. The GPS battery lasts around 10 hours of flight time, has an automatic battery saver if not talking to the laptop and I can charge it in flight from a cigar lighter fitting if I need to. The laptop, the 5" screen and a Garmin 295 also run off the aircraft 12v system in flight.

 

I find this takes a lot of the load off me on longer flights but the Airnav allows me to follow my progress on my paper charts with exceptional accuracy so if I was to lose everthing I'd still have a current fix.

 

How do you find the Nokia as a GPS signal source?

The Nokia works great, similar specs to your gps. I use it on a Fujisu Tablet with Oziexplorer but for some reason it want work with Air Nav . The specs and Baud rate of 4800 ect is what AirNav requires but AN want connect with it. The Nokia has a stand by mode( up to 6 days) which I thought may have been the problem but seeing yours has a similar mode that cant be it .

 

. Still with Air Nav have you noticed that when you click on a airport and open to check details or what ever the next time you open it the last number in the LAT and LONG has increased by one? Open an airport 10 times it moves 608 feet (if my calculations are correct) in both LAT and LONG. I had thought that when Air Nav is updated it would return them to what they should be but they don’t. Or is this only happening on my computer.
