Reece;

I have had to reset my GPS296 unit on occasion for the same reason.  I try to keep the software up to date, and it seems the problem has been less frequent with the last few updates.  It also seems to be less of a problem if I use the unit every week or two.

Hello Reece;

Speaking of the Air Gizmo dock, did you mount yours in the panel?  There is some discussion regarding mounting the docking station in a certified aircraft.  The manufacturer states that you need a field approval, but some of the A&P discussions on the web would suggest a logbook entry by an A&P will suffice.  What direction did you take?  I have panel space for it, and it really just needs a couple of screws to install it.  I have no plans to connect it to aircraft power or an external antenna.

Thanks

Jon

Hello Reece;

Thanks for your reply.  I would really like to get my GPS off of the yoke and into the panel.  My wife bought me the Air Gizmo doc two years ago for my birthday, but I never got it installed.  It must be a real convenience and cost saver to have your A&P and be able to do this kind of work yourself. My plane is due for it's annual in August, so I will see if the shop can sign it off when they have it.
