Many PDA running programs will operate using NMEA data send out of LX 7007 PDA interface Additionally data sentences including altitude vario task data etc to drive LX Mobile SeeYou Mobile Winpilot or Navigator are active after appropriate setting in Setup of LX 7007 A suitable PDA program called LX Mobile was developed to optimise interaction LX 7007 PDA Using of this program will save a lot of pilot s time while LX Mobile practically doesn t need any manipulation during the flight Page 73 LX 7007 pro IGC V 1 11 March 2008 LX Mobile is a part of delivery available on CD and delivered with the unit for free 3 2 8 1 LX Mobile features The NMEA sentences sent out of PDA interface includes additionally task data Immediately after a task has been selected on LX 7007 doesn t matter started or not the task data will be sent like an additionally so called LXTSK data sentence toward PDA LX Mobile will build the task on PDA display including all legs and observation zones All task modifications done on LX 7007 during flight including observations zones changes ZONE and MOVE will be updated automatically without any manipulation on PDA There is no way to modify LX 7007 task from PDA Note Use following NMEA data sentences to run LX Mobile GGA RMC LXWP and LXTSK LX Mobile offers following LX 7007 active task monitoring on PDA Display of turn points Airspace display with warnings Vector map background
