GPS weirdness in XCub. (Wrong distance, duplicates etc.)

Featured Replies

Hi friends,

Looking for some advice...

I do a lot of droning around in the XCub. But the GPS readouts are strange. I'll use an example. Yesterday I was flying in AZ from A20 to KSEZ (Sun Valley Airport to Sedona Airport). This is a shot from LittleNavMap (LNM)

You can see the total distance is 137nm

Now here is the display in the airplane. In the flight plan set up section it shows the correct distance but in the nav readouts on top of the PFD it shows 6,547nm

Also while using the Direct function I saw two Sedonas and a duplicate warning.

No mods in use. Community folder renamed for testing SU5 stability. Is the cause of this something Im doing wrong? What would cause this. Thankfully I have LNM to show me correct ETA and distance on a second screen but it would be nice if I could fix the above.

I asked the question on the duplicates at ther wt discord and they answered that it is a bug. I  noticed the same strange behaviour as you did, so it not jn your system.
