Hi all, Alan W:
Yep, I have seen those AIRIS PDA and they are fine, but as I will use either FLARM or a logger as GPS source, another GPS would be redundant. Road nav would be nice too. They also don't seem to have serial i/o connector, USB only so would be unable to connect to FLARM, Vario or logger without using a serial to Bluetooth adaptor, which may or may not work! At least FLARM and Loggers have a baro pressure sensor, so one isn't relying on just GPS altitude for final glide and thermalling data! It would be nice if a way of extracting the altitude/airspeed/total energy data from older varios and mixing it with the GPS NMEA data sentences in the correct format could be found, (As modern varios such as 302/B50/vega etc do) anyone got any ideas guys? An IGC compatible FLARM/Logger would be great too. Peter B: Geez I didn't realise that guy had more 5500's, he must have got LOTS of them! Wouldn't be a bad option for equipping a club fleet at that price! Does anyone know of somewhere in Aust that sells anti-reflective screen protectors, yes I know that Craggy aero have them, but $15 for a small piece of clear plastic seems a lot! Now using XC soar 5.1.1beta4 and its is great! The developers respond really quickly to bug reports and most feature requests. The excellent efforts of the developers, particularly Scott Penrose and John Wharrington are most appreciated-And they are based in Aus as well!

A PDA with GPS inbuilt, Australian road navigation data base as well. But it will load GPS_LOG.
