Please make a zip file of your HP LK8000 folder, upload it somewhere and send me the link.
Then send me also the IGC recorded by the other instrument, and try to remember at which time or position you experienced the first problem.

This is a strange thing happening. From what you say, it could be of course related to airspace, but why do we get only feedback from people using HP314? It does not make sense, so I must assume this is not related, and in any case I am taking this very seriously.
So I need to be able to replicate it, and then I can fix it.

It can be caused by the 3.1 internal changes, but so many things have changed in 3.1 that we really need a point to look at, instead of blind attempts.

I'd like to replicate and fix it as soon as possible
thanks

Didn't fly in April, but 3 flights in May, latterly using 3.1c and d, and it didn't freeze.

Hi Paolo!

The other Instrument is a Camera, which produces Movies, but no IGC-Logs.
The complete Movie is an AVI-File of 4.2GB Size and a duration of 67Min.
If you really need this, I'll try to shrink it a bit and send it to you.
I'll zip the LK8000-Folder (~300MB) of the iPaQ tomorrow, when I'm at the
airfield (I'm on vacation and the weather is fine this time - jabbadabbadoo).

I'm not completely sure, that it is not a matter of the 2GB-SD-Card used,
but this one has been working in the iPaQ for almost 4 Years now without any Problem.

Kind Regards HPD (D-MHPD)

thanks, there is no need to send me the _Logger folder so probably the size will be greatly reduced. No need to send me the video! But an help on when or where the problem happened is welcome, so I shall be able to fast forward the reply to the exact point.

I need also to know exactly what was attached to the ipaq, I suppose a Flarm.

I'll try to prepare all the Data today and then send it to you.
No Attachments to the iPaQ - just the bare PNA with its original Car-Power-Adapter!

Hi Paolo!

I've checked the recorded Data again but couldn't find any evidence that everything has happened the way I've described it.
I compressed the IGC- and Runtime.log-Files to a 33kB 7z-File and uploaded it using the Image-Upload-Function.
Please remove the .jpg from the file before unflating.

Kind Regards HPD (D-MHPD)

I think we dont understand each other... and I give up!

As I wrote, I need the LK8000 folder, because I need to REPLICATE your exact configuration.

Hi,

I have a Navigon Max 3300. I had freezes a long time ago and I know itīs considered as unstable device. But, LK8000 has been working fine for some time now (except some freezes when loading up airspace or terrain data). However, not having used it for some time I updated to LK8000 3.0c for the new season.

Everything seemed to be fine on the ground. However in the air I experience freeezs again. Several restarts in the air resulted again in freezes after few minutes.

It was a hot day when I experienced this first and I thought maybe the device is overheated. To test this I had it running for 3 hours in direct sun light on a hot day on the ground while I was going for a swim. It still worked perfectly when I came back...

Yesterday same problem: Flying in a powered glider. This time without external power supply. It froze after a few minutes...

I zipped my LK8000 folder. You can download it until 24 June at https://gigamove.rz.rwth-aachen.de/d/id/Q56G5G8R2y6N9w

Thanks, I will replicate a takeoff from your home using a Mio400 or another PNA.
This means: I connect an external NMEA generator that can actually feed the PNA with a flight data just like a real GPS on your airfield. If anything happens, we shall know it quite soon.
HAving the whole LK folder is of great help, there are no possible misunderstandings.
Stand by..

Just for the record, my iPAQ 314 hasn't frozen since I posted on 20 May.

I have had freezing problems too.
Running on a very early Compaq iPaq pocketpc running Windows CE 3.0 because I find it more readable than a Mio 555. Running the LK8000-PPC2002 program which I trust is correct - runs in Portrait mode. Program is on an SD card in the expansion pack. Actually it is in the SD slot on the Haicom GPS. For an hour or so before the freeze occurs it seems to run quite fast. LK8000 Version 3.0a (Feb 15 2012)

The freeze seems to occur when the notification "Best alternate 'new landable place' " comes up. This box stays on the screen and the map behind is frozen. If the "alternate" changes to a better one I do get a new notification but the map is still frozen. Some other notifications occurs as well.
If I touch the Menu button the green boxes appear but if I try to select one of them all I get is a click sound but no change in the "frozen" screen.
If you turn the Compaq off with the power button when you turn on again the frozen screen is still there. A reset is the only way out that I have found.

Please check on the website all the bugs we have fixed in 3.0a to 3.0c . Maybe one of them is for your case, maybe.

Hello Coolwind, I can't see anything listed which would relate to this freeze but it could be something that is connected to one of the fixes. I will not be flying for a couple of weeks but will install 3.0c and report back when I am able to.
Thanks for your reply and suggestion.
