Default Downloading .igc fliles from Volkslogger

I've just browsed P-Strepla's features, and it seems to me that this
software cannot download files from flight recorders (like Volkslogger).
It only uses Volkslogger as a source of GPS signal and barometric altitudes.

So P-Strepla is perfectly correct saying it has found and connected to
Volkslogger. But it has nothing in common with IGC-sanctioned flight
recording.

SeeYou Mobile cannot download files as well. There's a companion
application called ConnectMe (freeware) which does it.

Usually there's no need to download logger's files to PDA, as they are
to be analysed on PC anyway. You can connect Volkslogger to PC directly
to make the download.

Pocket*StrePla-Connect is marketed as part of pocket*StepLa, it is
equivalent to Naviter ConnectMe. And that begs the question of whether
the original poster meant pocket*StrePla or pocket*StrePla-Connect
(like I assumed but maybe wrongly). But if somebody is already using
SeeYou Mobile on a PDA, using ConnectMe would seem the more likely
route.

Many people download to a PDA or its SD card. If you already have a
PDA for navigation connected to the logger then you already have the
cabling needed and the PDA is already there with you in the cockpit.
Juggling a laptop at the glider to do this can be more cumbersome.
