KOBO GLO HD BASED TACTICAL GLIDE COMPUTER - GPS 

 

Kobo Glo HD e-ink reader running  XCSoar 6.8.6, preloaded with UK terrain map, UK airspace map 2015, and waypoints file. Although slightly bigger and more costly, it is a major improvement over Kobo Mini. 

 

Readability in full sunlight and great software makes it a truly impressive piece of kit for any gliding activity. It is a strong alternative to a factory built units that cost 3 times more and are still  difficult to read in sunlight.

 

Professionally converted using high quality Global Top GMS-G6 GPS + GLONASS chip (also known as "Titan 2").

Side by side comparison shows how GMS-G6 can lock on 7 more satellites than “good, old MLR”. This is partly due to receiving signal simultaneously from GPS and GLONASS satellites, but also due to a high gain of the receiver. All this helps to improve accuracy in difficult conditions which I tried to demonstrate by placing both the units under a large tree canopy.

 

This unit is a great solution for pilots who want to use it alongside classic vario, as it doesn’t have barometric sensor or audio feedback. It is particularly suitable for glider pilots.

 

Battery life in FLY mode exceeds 10h. (not confirmed in flight yet)

Screen area: 123mm x91mm

External dimensions: 157mm x 114mm

Weight: 192g

Package comes with USB cable for charging and data transfer. Mains charger is not included.

If you want t use the unit abroad, you can upload different maps and airspaces, by following XCSoar link above.

 

The unit can still be used as a e-reader or a web browser, so you can check the weather forecast - as log as you have wi-fi!

 

I do not accept returns, but I guarantee high quality workmanship and will help to sort any problems.

 

The flight deck and the MLR unit are shown for demonstration only and not included in sale.
