hey all,

i've been playing around with the trial of PocketFMS and am slightly confused as to the NAIPS link. Now i understand that it saves the FP in .dlt so that i can open it in NAIPS but say i plan YMML - YLTV - YMFD - YMML it will place YLTV, YMFD and YMML as significant points on the plan not as seperate stages. For those who use PocketFMS is this normal or am I doing something wrong. Like I said just playing, but i do seriously like the Moving map with WX, airspace and radio freq overlay....may have to invest in it for the Treo 750

It works just fine - print the op manual, read it, and all will be fine.;)

righto, i assumed you meant the PocketFMS manual, i did and it still didn't tell me anything other than it will save as .DTL for NAIPS. nothing about adding/recognising stages, short of filing a FP for every single leg. I'm thinking i'll use it solely for its moving map GPS and WX overlays and still use trusty NAIPS for filing FP's
