GPS Interface and Moving Map

With "PreFlight" you cannot only transfer flight routes and recorded tracks between computer and GPS, but also follow your current position on a map, while "PreFlight" stores both track and altitude.

Transferring Flight Routes
PreFlight supports the device-specific protocols for Garmin and Magellan GPS devices. Thus you can directly send and receive data from the following devices: "GPS III", "GPS 55 AVD", "GPS 90", "GPS 95XL", "GPS 100 AVD", "GPS 150", "GPS 190", "GPSMAP 195", "GPSMAP 196", "GPSMAP 295", "GPSMAP 296" and Magellan 315/320. Without any additional software you can:

• transfer routes, created within "PreFlight", into your GPS,
• transfer routes, created within your GPS, to "PreFlight",
• transfer tracks, created and stored within your GPS, to "PreFlight",
• export routes, created within "PreFlight" to the GCAS Flight Companion, manufactured by the "Euro Telematik AG",
• read position, speed and altitude via the NMEA 0183 interface and
• run the moving map mode on tree different ways:

On the ICAO chart (95 KB)	On the static elevation profile (88 KB)	On the dynamic elevation profile (104 KB)

Recording the Route Flown in your Computer
Via the NMEA 0183 interface (4800 bps), "PreFlight" records your track, while your current position is indicated on a map, where a black line marks your planned course. To record track and speed, you can use all GPS devices, equipped with a NMEA 0183 interface. Beyond that, with Garmin devices its also possible to record the flight altitude.
