Am I reading the GPS screen wrong, cos I can't see the Latitude/longitude anywhere, I fly with a few maps along side me so I can keep my bearings, but having the GPS quote what line of Lat/Long, wouldn't that make it a bit easier?

Hit shift+z.  this gives you lat. long. alt. and hdg info plus wind strength and direction if you have weather set up.

You see this is what happens when you buy reduced priced software without the full set of instructions.

Cheers for that.

Unfortunately I'm so freakishly tall when I sit in a 152 my head is tilted over and my knees prevent the controls from moving.



Uh-oh...I'm 6-3....what do you consider freakishly tall?  lol  May wanna upgrade.
