If anyone gets stuck teaching/learning PLGR. There's a program out there, that replicates the GPS itself. Which saves you from reading the ever so simply designed manual, and spending hours punching in random buttons.

As a result I could fire it up, change it from FIX to CONT. Plug in all the datum. Do direct nav, or setup a route, and adjust my alerts accordingly. And the "mark, mark" process. Jeez, I wish I knew about that years ago. Typing in the Grid Zone designator, and 100 000m identifier over and over was an annoyance to say the least.

...Now, if i can just remember it all....

On another note. Anyone trial the DAGR yet? Is it as userfriendly as the PLGR?
