I found some details here (its in French, but you can download multlingual userguides) : http://www.geonaute.com/FR/Product_arborescence/sports-accessor/discovery/orientation---m/gps/product_8035650/index.html seems to use the SiRFstarIII chipset. -- Sylvain

Don't really understand what you mean. Geonaute is a Decathlon brand. -- Sylvain

Hi Thijs, If you want to try another DZ, you can also come to Lille (Rijsel) in France. Its 80 km from Brugge, 35 km from Moorsele, and we also have a Belgium school at the DZ. -- Sylvain

A big thank you to James and to all the participants. That was a really nice week. Hope to meet again soon, maybe in Gap in May ? -- Sylvain

That's very unlikely to happen with the new model, as the two parts of the cutaway handle can be attached to the suit with a magnet. -- Sylvain Edit : Costyn you were faster than me on that one :-)

Hi all, a few flights during Royan Beach Boogie (France, August 2006). http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=4910 Hope you'll enjoy it. -- Sylvain

RTFM

I had the same problem with my HC22 in Beach & Ski mode. I switched to either Sport or Lanscape Mode (BTW Auto seems ok too), and no more problems. -- Sylvain

Hi all, my first video : http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=4225 Hope you'll enjoy it. -- Sylvain

Nice one !!! Quote from the article : '... Over the next four minutes, before he opens his parachute, Caldwell is in flight ...' 4 min from 13,000 feet ... definitely a Superhero, not a penguin -- Sylvain

Did my first rodeo 2 weeks ago. Here is a nice picture just after the exit. -- Sylvain

Also check the Back Light mode. Maybe it's ON (should be OFF). -- Sylvain

One question to Phantom users (or any other mid or top range suit from Phoenix-fly or Birdman) : How long does it take to attach your rig to the suit ?

Hi there, is anybody here using a Pilot 140 in an Atom Legend 0 (from PdF) ? I'd like to know if this combination is ok. Thanks, -- Sylvain

When the Geko301 is mounted on the chest strap, can you look at the screen during flight to check altitude, vertical speed, glide ratio ... ? -- Sylvain

Check this site : http://product.samsung.com/event/optin05/sportscam_site/ a few skydivers seem to post there (Message board), so maybe one can send you some samples. -- Sylvain

Just wanted to share my experience on this one : I started flying wingsuit a few months ago with my freefly pud equipped rig. It was ok, but I needed to be careful on opening, as the pud (well at least mine) must be grabbed with full hand, not just 3 or 4 fingertips. On some jumps I thought it may be safer to change my pud for a PVC tube or hackey, but didn't do it. Jump 34 : nice 3-way, a bit tired on opening, grabbed the pud with the fingertips (that was the mistake), pulled it out of the BOC, then realized my fingers had slipped form the pud without pulling anything out. Just a few inches of the chute were out of the spandex, with the pud floating at the end of its attachment bridle. I tried to grab the pud, but couldn't find it, so switched to plan B : Red and Silver. The reserve ride was uneventull (just lost the freebag ) After that, I had the freefly pud replaced by a PVC tube. I now feel A LOT more confident when opening time comes. -- Sylvain

It's not skydiving oriented, but there's an interesting review here (the video is funny ...) : http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/09/technology/circuits/09pogue.html?ex=1275969600&en=162068ff95e40e96&ei=5089&partner=rssyahoo&emc=rss -- Sylvain

Any release date yet ? --Sylvain

Hi there, my DZ will soon organise 6000m jumps (20,000 feet), with oxygen onboard. Could anybody share his or her experience with 20,000 feet wingsuit jumps ? -- Sylvain

Some pictures here : http://www.para-net.org/paramag/archives/deug/wingGB.html and here (Click on Hommage Deug in the left menu) http://free.fly.free.fr/ -- Sylvain

Yeah, I have been playing with World Wind for a little over a year now. Pretty cool stuff but not really skydive friendly and you need a smoking big pipe to download some of the graphics or it will take forever just to draw. But have you tried the GPS import feature ? BTW on my 2-year old PC (P4 2.8 GHz, 1 GB, ATI 9800, brand new 8 Mb/s ADSL), World Wind 1.3.1.1 runs great . -- Sylvain
