If you are looking for a logger and Pocket PC system with a moving map and
reachable airports highlighted on the screen, Glide Navigator II and a
Cambridge 302A will automatically calculate and display wind speed and
direction. The 302A offers more memory for flight logs and waypoints than
any other logger. It is very nice to never have to worry about whether your
logger is going to run out of memory.


Of course... any PDA program can calculate wind from the groundspeed
method. WinPilot, mCU, GlideNav, pStrePla, flyWithCE, free programs
like GPSLOG and Soaringpilot.

While having all that memory is nice, whether or not all that memory
is actually useful is completley up in the Air. I have a sample rate
of 4 seconds and this provides 16hrs on my colibri. Chances are, if
you don't download a flight right away you dont care too much about
it. The other disadvantage of the 302a that I see is that its panel
mounted.... you need a laptop or PDA to get the logs. With the
Colibri, Volkslogger, and SDI Posigraph, you can bring it home and use
your desktop, or take it to the scorer at a contest.
