Simviation Forums

Hello guys,

  Been looking around for a GPS that will run on a networked PC.  Is there such a program out there? I know you can download a plugin for FSUIPC that will translate flight sim data to a gps I guess NEMA format. But Im not about to shell out $$$ for commercial GPS software.

  I love the default gps in FS9 I wonder if I could somehow network that bad boy using wideview? Or is there something better out there I havent found yet?

Everything you need to know about GPS.

No reason you couldn't design a Touch Buddy interface to allow control of the software he uses... could be very cool to have a touchscreen moving map in the pit.

Great link, Steve!

Sadly Pocket FMS, which I had preferred is no longer cheap.... 150 Euros per year!

Memory-Map is only $99, but maps are add-ons which could drive costs up considerably!

It will take some exploration to figure out the best route... and the cheapest.

The other one that I want BADLY is a weather radar associated with the ND.  Project Magenta has the ability to integrate a stand alone WX radar )from another company) in it.... but PM is WAY over MY budget.

 ;D I DIDNT KNOW I SHARED A BRAIN WITH A HIPPIE

Thats funny, been thinking the same exact thing. Checkout the latest vid here looks like Hans figured out a way to display a moving map on the nav of course he is using PM

Hey guys think the crew at flyware might be interested in making that an option? At least the weather radar. I haven't registered there yet but maybe a combined effort could be useful.

I think I know what I'm going to use for the moving map:

Its not exactly what im looking for but should fill the void until{if} something better or cheaper is available.
