That's pretty cool....

How is XCSoar working out for you? Have you used it in competition?
Does it handle beer can start gates correctly (arm/auto start based on
radius or altitude, calculate distance from actual start point...)?
How well does it handle MATs... particularly w.r.t. to adding
turnpoints in flight? Think I've finally had it with winpilot --
developer appears completely uninterested in fixing (glaring) faults
of interest to US contest pilots. The docs with XCSoar are hugely
better... I would use this on an ipaq 38** or 39** with nmea provided
by C302.
