Default SUA files and COTS GPS Units

I don't know about adding airspace to a garmin unit, but I used Soar
Pilot last year with my treo 650 and a bluetooth GPS. The advantage of
such a system is that you can easily load turn points, and airspace.
Additionally it is a pretty full featured Soaring computer, and best
of all it's FREE! :-)

If you don't have a palm there's always XCsoar (freeware as well) for
the windows mobile family of PDAs

Is it possible to load a SUA file on a COTS such as a Garmin Map76 or
ETREX? *If so, is there a preferred format or procedure? I've
performed some searching on RAS and Google with no success.


thanks,

I'm familiar with the freeware PDA/Palm approaches. The reason I'm
asking is one of my soaring partners (and perhaps others now that COTS
will be useful for badges in the US after October) does not want to
buy or bother with a PDA.
