Well, I would imagine that Streckenflug.at is selling their database in some kind of format that can be imported by the LX devices. I don't see a reason why we should not be able to use the same format in XCSoar. After all we will largely increase their circle of potential customers...

The reason we are writing on english here is that most people here don't speak german and they might be interested in what we write too.
