I note that Dick Smith are selling the 16GB Nexus 7 for $169, online with free
delivery. Seems good value to me..

Hi Bernard,
In our LS8 we use a 302 and Flarm via a K6 Mux unit to integrate Flarm alerts
with Vario and GPS data from the 302, and then to a K6 Bluetooth unit. The K6
units work very well together so it's pretty much plug and play.
We use a Nexus 7 tablet with Bluetooth running XcSoar, which works very well
for those of us who's advancing age mean we need a large screen.
The Nexus 7 has built in GPS as well, so you have a portable unit. Nexus 7 can
be purchased in JB Hi FI or online, you only need the basic unit with 16GB,
which last time I looked was circa $300.
Very readable in direct sunlight and providing its charged before flight and
connected to glider battery via a USB power connection (we use the one that
came with the LX Nano, which we use as a backup logger) it will last a full
day easily.
The Nexus 7 includes Wifi so you can upload your trace direct from the Nexus
without requiring a laptop and you can also download maps, turn points,
weather etc. So pretty much independent of other computing needs, especially
as SeeYou now runs on Android.
Best Regards,
Mike

Good morning all!
One of my new ASH 31 Mi customers wants a low cost flight computer that
features a backlit moving map display and allows the running of XCSoar software.
The screen should be a bit larger than a normal PDA and if possible he would
like to integrate Flarm and an IGC approved data logger.
Any advice on the latest available low cost options would be greatly
appreciated.
Kind regards
Bernard
