Chapter 1. Introduction

Overview of the Program

This manual explains how to use the Cambridge Aero Instruments flight management

software, Cambridge Aero Explorer™. This program is a powerful tool that lets you

manipulate, view and analyze your flights graphically using a simple point and click

interface. Cambridge Aero Explorer also facilitates work with navigation point databases

and special use airspace files. This program can communicate with your Cambridge GPS

or Pocket-Nav flashcard. Tasks can be defined with this program and loaded into your

data recorder or viewed graphically together with a flight log.

Cambridge-Aero Explorer is designed for anyone wishing to interface with their

Cambridge recorder and view flight log files stored in either IGC or CAI format. The

program runs on IBM or compatible hardware using Microsoft

Windows

or Windows ME. Navigation point databases are viewed in Cambridge .dat format. The

software can communicate with a flashcard reader installed on a Windows system as a

removable drive. To communicate with a Cambridge Model 10,20 or 25 GPS, you must

have the unit connected to your computer on a working serial port.
