I would love to be able to learn to fly in a cessna 152 as it is about £30 an hour cheaper to have a lesson. Unfortunately I'm so freakishly tall when I sit in a 152 my head is tilted over and my knees prevent the controls from moving.

Am I reading the GPS screen wrong, cos I can't see the Latitude/longitude anywhere, I fly with a few maps along side me so I can keep my bearings, but having the GPS quote what line of Lat/Long, wouldn't that make it a bit easier?

Hit shift+z. this gives you lat. long. alt. and hdg info plus wind strength and direction if you have weather set up.

You see this is what happens when you buy reduced priced software without the full set of instructions.

Cheers for that.
