I am building an RV and would like PilotAware shown on my Garmin G3X screens.  Has anyone found a way to do this?

Any assistance would be most welcome.

Hi,

Local for me is Corwen LL21 0NA Wales.  I fly from Sleap EGCV 1.25 hours travelling by car from home.

Inspecting my GPS dongle it does appear a little 'wobbly' between the body and the USB connector.  I opened the body and noticed one of the 4 connections were loose.  I have tried to solder it back but it is a very small area, however, I did make the connection and now the GPS colour has changed to orange from red.

I think it is time for a new GPS module.

Regards John

Hi,

Completed a full manual software update as suggested by Exfirepro.

Unfortunately, the situation remains.  I have attached 2 word docs of the HOME and CONFIG page.

There must be something that can be done to get the unit working - I am on the limit of my knowledge in this area of electronics - Sorry I'm a Mechanical engineer.

Hi,

From the discussions it looks like I need to buy a GPS module or maybe send the unit to the experts.

Been flying today to Shobdon for the fly in and food festival - just got back home.

Appreciated all the help.

Regards John

Hi,

My power supply is a Power Pack (Anker) PowerCore 20100 (20,100mAh - 5v).

I have always used this power pack in the aircraft.

Hi,

Thank you for the assistance I did look at my 192.168.1.1 and noticed that it said Licence expired. So tried to log on to my account  Pilotaware but that said my email was not recognised.  Anyway I have emailed Pilotaware to check my account.  It seems strange that my subscription is due just when I updated the sofware.

Thanks again for the advice.  John

Hi,

I have installed the latest software and now I cannot connect my Pilot Aware to my ipad Sky Demon.

I have the ipad wifi connected to the Pilot Aware and I have (in Sky Demon) Third Party as Pilot Aware ticked.  When I click - Go Flying in Sky Demon I get a message - "No data has been received from your GPS device for some time and the connection is therefore lost.  Check your device settings to ensure connectivity then try again".

Can anyone help with a solution. - Regards John

Technical Support / New pilot aware case very warm

« on: June 23, 2016, 09:13:27 pm »

I now starting to use my new pilot aware and after a 45 minute flight I was putting the unit into my flight bag and was surprised to find the unit quite warm/hot.

I'm not an electronic guy but I do know that being warm/hot is generally not a good thing in electronics.

Has anyone else had this or is it really normal and the unit won't catch fire or burn out to fail.
