Harry's GPS Suite Forum

Did Dual go out of business? I'm trying to download the firmware to update the unit I just bought off Amazon, but whenever I go to the site, I get 403 (permission) errors. That's for the firmwarenew.html link, the index, and even the regular www.

If anyone has the firmware I can upload from my Mac, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Hi,

http://xgps150.dualav.com and http://xgps150.dualav.com/firmwarenew.html are online...

Interesting. Even after the upgrade, it still shows 0.0Hz.

This means you have no GPS reception. Please go outside and try again. LapTimer measures the number of useable / valid updates per second, not any technical frequency. Please watch the GPS view in addition - the Signal gadget (top left) in particular. You should see a blinking point here - red means invalid input, while blue is valid input.

There is also a utility from dualxgps on the Apple Store to check if the signal is here or not and see the status from the GPS

The site is working again, and I have the firmware updated. I used it last night on my flight to see our altitude and speed. I think there must have either been an error, or possibly a very heavy tailwind. It was showing over 600 mph SOG. The last time I checked, a 737 topped out about the mid-500 range.

Isn't there something about standard GPS only working properly up to a certain altitude/speed?
I never manage to get my MX5 offf the ground!

I’m a pilot. Can I use the GPS Receiver in the cockpit?
Yes. The GPS Receiver works with popular electronic flight bag apps including EFB, ForeFlight, and WingX Pro. If you are a commercial or corporate pilot, please contact customer support for some helpful tips on using the XGPS150 in aircraft with heated windshields and at high cruising altitudes.
