Title: etrex 30 - buggy glide ratio (fw 2.73 beta)
Post by: puiufly on July 02, 2012, 08:03:50 AM
Hello, I hope is the right place to post this, I have an etrex 30 fw 2.73 beta. I am missing the glide ratio format which I had on my old etrex Vista hcx. The vista was showing the glide ratio as 1:12, 1:15 (examples) and the etrex 30 is showing as 2:1, 3:1 but I still need the "accuracy" shown by the vista. As long I am a paragliding pilot, the glide ratio is very important to be seen in this format 1:15 (number = example) interpreted as "how many meters I'm going ahead for each vertical lost meter" . Or did I miss something ? How can I make it look as on vista ? Thank you, Puiu(fly)

Post update
---------------------
With the new firmware ( 2.80) this problem is solved.
At least glide ratio is working now fine.
Cheers,
Puiu
