Has anyone used or had experiance of this sat nav system (Binatone G500) ?It has WinCE 5.0 and a big 5 inch display, for only £70 it looks like a bargin, before buying one I would like to know how/if the SkyDemon system will work or not on it. Any advice or comments very welcome, Steve

I have run it on a Binatone D430. Unfortunately on the latest release, for some reason the map does not show. My only other reservation is the screen brightness. I have not tried it in the air yet.

John, if you contact me directly I can send you a debug build to try and work out why the map isn't showing for you.

I have the G500 from Binatone working (ish), all I needed was a registry editor and then to dump the SkyDemon files on the SD card. However all the settings seem to be lost once the system is shut down, it also won't rotate the display, any suggestions guys ?Steve PS: microlight fly in at Sywell this weekend, GA-Brooklands fly in next weekend (EGBK)

Damn, sorry...... all the regular settings are saved, if you use the software exit menu rather than power off the unit. However the rotate display still does nothing and I really would like to rotate the display into portrait mode, rather than the default landscape, any help guys ?Steve

If SkyDemon can't rotate the display, it means the device doesn't support display rotation.

I have the Binatone G500 working perfectly well now, it's a very cheap device at £90.00 the only thing it won't do is work in portrait mode, everything else is 100% good.Does anyone know if there is a way to enable the 'Follow Position' mode from loading the program, it's a pain to have to enable it every time the program is loaded, the same applies for the disclaimer, is there a way to stop that appearing every time you power on the device (last one is the hide menu option). All these little things would be a great help to a very polished package. Steve

Follow mode will become enabled by default in the next version. There's no way to prevent the disclaimer, sorry.

Hi,My unit - a 4.3" has a main sliding power switch at the back and a "soft" on/off button on the top. If I use the top button to switch off- then on -the unit powers up back to the screen straightaway. Regards Alex

AT3, do you have any more information on how you got your Binatone G500 working ? I have got all the required files onto the sd card and can't work out how to change the registry or what to change when I get there.
To change the registry on the G500 it seems that I need a remote registry editor but the only one I can find is from Microsoft and only runs within Visual Studio or Platform Builder. And once you manage to get inside the G500s registry what changes are required ?
