Sounds like the Glider Guider/V2/Avier device.
Mine runs Windows Mobile 6 and runs XCSoar. The
screen is highly sunlight readable and has an anti glare coating.
Now can anyone figure out how to load Android or
Linux on it to take advantage of later XCSoar implementations?
As for Greg's original question, it depends what
sort of motorglider we are talking about. If it
is a travelling type that is going to operate in
and around controlled airspace and being used as
a cross country point to point machine you really
need to run OzRunways or AvPlan on an iPad mini.
There is an Android version of the latter but it
is pretty crippled as yet. Good as a backup on an Android phone though.
Interesting about the Kobo. This exact cycle was
gone through nearly 20 years ago when the first
PDA's came out. They had grey scale screens which
were transflective and highly visible in bright
sunlight(the brighter the better). Then they went
colour and became nearly useless. Screen
technology has improved since then but the
colour feature looks pretty and is a nice eye
magnet with lots of background clutter to get in
the way without doing much for situational
awareness. Bad design that failed to actually ask
which problem was being solved (this is a common
problem in many areas of life - there are few
real problems which can't be made worse by
imposing solutions for the wrong problem - see much of aviation regulation).

Greg,
Not a tablet, but Malcolm Crampton (Tasman
Instruments) has a generic 5 inch pda which has
a good bright screnn, runs LK8000 (free) and is good value for money.

Hello all,
Has anyone got a spare (or two) of the old
canopy mounted Flarm antennas that they'd be willing to part ways with?
