I can't speak for Devo but I have the same question. Does the installprocedure differ per airplane?

I would like to have it in the Antonov An-22.

Thanks

Thank you Commoner -

and again I'm surprised about how much information this site has (and that you know how to find it).

Hope Devo reads it.

What you might do is download an updated GPS (There are some around) and read the install instructions. I got hung up with changeing the files as per instructions and have't tryed again. (But I think I will try again, I see a cool new one around. GPS 520nor something like that). Good luck and let us know how it turnes out.
