Thanks Guys I think I have my answer, looking at the EW (D) link in the PDF Roman posted, there is a link to this document http://www.fai.org/gliding/system/files/ew_annex_c.pdf which lists approved GPS hardware to be used in conjunction with my type of logger. Looks like the GPS in my PDA will not be acceptable.
