If you have trouble reading the GPS, you can enlarge it by opening the aircraft's panel.cfg file and edit the text in Notepad. Make the following changes and save. (Note: the red letters indicate the changes.)

 

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=Switch Box
Window02=GPS
Window03=Radio Stack
Window04=Fuel Panel
Window05=Elev Trim
Window06=Mini Panel
Window07=RealView Control Panel

// change size from 150mm x 250mm:

[Window02]
size_mm=150,250
position=6
BACKGROUND_COLOR=16,16,16
VISIBLE=0
ident=GPS_PANEL

gauge00=gps!gps,0,0,150,250


// to 350mm x 450mm:

[Window02]
size_mm=350,450
position=6
BACKGROUND_COLOR=16,16,16
VISIBLE=0
ident=GPS_PANEL

gauge00=gps!gps,0,0,350,450

/////////////////////////////////////////////

 

You can enlarge any panel to whatever size you wish, however it's a good idea to add equal amounts to each side so as not to distort the window. Always make a back-up of the original panel.cfg file to be safe.
