Has anyone got any experience with the Medion PNA 500T GPS PDA? Particularly loading it with GPS_LOG or XCSoar and using it in a glider?
[I think it may also be a PDA of sorts and I also think that is the mode offered, not sure] It is on sale at Aldi from 16 NOV at $399 if you can get one. Would appreciate any review comments on use of it in a glider.

There are better units than the Sirf III chip which in the implementation I've seen is optimised for cars. We use the u-blox Antaris (same as in FLARMs) and you can optimise it for your particular use.
