PDA or PNA Setup  - Very Popular
Are you looking forward to flying with your new soaring flight software, but a bit intimidated by the process of installing it and setting it up on your new PDA or PNA?  Send it to me - I'll get it up and running and back to you in no time.  Below is a list of some of the items I do to get your PDA or PNA ready to fly.  I use a checklist to make sure I don't forget anything.

Setup Items

• Set backlight to brightest setting and change settings to it does not or dim when the unit is powered with external power
• Set power settings to the unit does not power-off in flight
• Set Calendar and Clock to your time zone
• Enter pilot name, phone and e-mail into the PDA's owner screen - so the unit can be returned to you if lost and found
• On iPAQ 310 units - install the screen rotate driver if "portrait" mode is desired (recommended)
• Install the desired soaring flight software onto the device
• Enter your license key into the soaring flight software
• Enter data for your glider into the soaring flight software (polar data, N#, Contest #)
• Create waypoint, airspace and map files for your favorite soaring site or sites and store them on the device and/or memory card (first 3 sites included, $10/each for additional sites)
• Set font sizes and other settings in the software to good sizes for the particular PDA or PNA type
• On PDAs I use the built-in backup utility or Sprite Backup ($19.95) to backup the PDA settings and files to the SD memory card.
• When you receive the device it is ready to go flying

Recommendation - Have me help you setup your PDA or PNA over the phone!
As an alternative to having me setup the PDA or PNA here at my office, I often recommend phone support.  You keep the PDA or PNA with you.  I call you and connect to your computer so I can see your screen.  I then walk you through the software installation and waypoint, airspace and map file generation and general PDA setup.  The advantage is that you don't need to pay to ship the PDA both ways, and there is no waiting for it to ship.  But the biggest advantage is that you learn how to do the PDA setup while we do it together.  That way it serves as both support and training - so you can do it yourself in the future.  It usually takes 1 to 2 hours of phone support to get the PDA setup.  Therefore, it costs about the same as it would to ship the unit to me, have me set it up here and ship it back to you (about $80).
