Yes, XCSoar has just implemented it (in version 6.2 alpha1). *It can

it, though.


Cambridge have had their data port specs for the 300 series public for
many many years. They showed very good insularity leadership/openness
there.

Thanks guys. I've only had the iPhone for a month or so now and am
disappointed it won't do a number of things as well as my ancient
Treo. I've found work-arounds for many and in the end Jaibreaking it
may be the ultimate workaround. That, or switching to Android.

Best regards,
