It's a long time since I used these clever little gauges but you only need one. Simply rename a copy of the gauge after programming & before installing it to CFS2. You can have as many different versions of the GPS as you like on one panel.

Thanks to you both for your help !

     What I was actually looking for was an ADF with the "DEFAULT" CFS1 airfields for CFS2 .
     I'm doing an ETO install & would like to use the GPS100a for my addons & the cfs1 adf for those airfields.
     All I could find was the cfs2euro_gps & it has some squadron scenery that I can't get.
     I'm doing the programming of the GPS100a correctly & you're right it's a slow process" LOL"
     I found the gps100 which has the default cfs1 airfields to put in my panels , but like I said , the gauge & the needle shows up but no writing to say what the airfield is & there lies my prob.
     I'm assuming that cfs1 reads it differently , but don't know for sure.
     I guess I'll have to do it the hardway , but was trying get around it HA!
     Again , thank you both for your help & have a nice Thanksgiving Holiday !
                                                              Regards/ OTTO

I would like to program this gauge for my use. Is there a post somewhere that tells how to program this gauge ?  If so where is it ?

Thanks,

Ehi Gringo6,

(are you a spaghetti western fan, with a moniker like that?)

Hagar is correct. When you download the GPS100a, package, there's a program that comes with it, which enables you to programme that gauge.
If you open the program, it tells you to click on each field to change it, and then click on that field again to set your changes. It's very intuitive, which is why you don't need a separate file to tell you how to do it.

What you do need to know when you start is what the exact Lat/Long co-ordinates are for the places you wish to put into the GPS, and what name you want to use for each place. It doesn't just have to be airfields, it can be any point of interest throughout your World map.

You click in the name field and type in a name, then click again to set it.
You click in the first numeric field, change it with the up/down arrows, and then click to set it. You do this with every numeric field. When that page is done, you move to the next page.

If you have any problems, just yell out. But I promise, it is really easy, if you remember to click in each field after each change.

Adios Gringo6

OK I've got that down pat.

There is another set of GPS gauges similar to this and they are named WLDGPS and USAGPS and have a larger capacity. They cover many parts of the World and the USA

Can anybody tell me how to program these ? 

Thanks.

I'm not sure you can. I think these are all by Chuck Dome. The ones you mention are for FS2000 (or 2002) & come already programmed. I have no idea if they would be any use in CFS2.
