What are the power requirements for the Pocket-NAV vs the normal GPS-NAV Display?
This is a factor as on our world record attempts on which we have to plan on 13-14 hours of continuous logging. If we run out of power and the GPS fails to record all of the flight, NO record. We usually carry camera and barograph backup but some of the early AM camera shots are dim and there is not much room in a 27 for the old reliable Winter Barograph… “The Pocket-NAV adds ~50 mA to the 150 mA nominal current drain of the GPS-NAV. This should not significantly reduce battery life.
