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

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.

You could try talking to Paul Crabb about Garmax (makes displayable
airspace, but won't warn you about it - for that you need an aviation
gps) contact viawww.crabb.biz, or you could learn to use a chart.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks, this at least demonstrates this can be accomplished although I
am looking for a product supporting the other side of the Pond.

I am confident that at some point in the last 20 years I learned to
open up a Sectional chart and look out the window. The intent is for
use as an aide for those who use these devices along with the chart
and the M1 Eyeball.
