Thanks for your input.

Yeah, 0.6r1 has a lot of improvements and bug fixes.

I also just saw a code submission to Stratux that will make all future updates easier. It looks like the project will soon release an "update capability" which won't require a whole new image. I'll be watching for it.

Default Big Thanks

Kudos to Glen and Scrabo for some great work on Stratux. If there are others here at VAF I have missed - thanks to you as well.

Stratux is a cheap and effective way to get traffic and WX in the cockpit - and if you are not careful, you might learn something and have some fun building it.

Pair it with the free app Avare, and you can't get more bang for your buck.

Thanks Guys!

Thanks. Will download the new IMG file when I get home Friday.

Anyone know of a source for a cheap USB GPS that can plug into the Pi for position.

Thanks in advance.

I have a friend that has this one and said that it works well with his Stratux.

Default Stratux GPS

John,

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. I have the GPS with ADHARS but looking for a simple GPS.

I've put together a couple "Stratux" with that USB GPS. I'd suggest watching the price. It seems to fluctuate regularly. I picked up my first one for $15 and then a couple more when the price bounced down to $12.

They've got them on eBay now for $13.50, free shipping.

Free shipping from China like the eBay ones, and the cost is $9.90 each.

Getting cheaper.
