Default XCSoar / LK8000

You are correct - I don't have a 303, though that's what I suspected was
meant in the original post about uploading turnpoints.

I have a couple of friends whose gliders have LNAV/GPS-NAV and a 303
installed. They each bought Streaks and are wondering how they can
interface the streak to the system. Or they stuck with using the Streak as
a stand-alone device?

That's because you don't use a Cambridge 303 display with your 302.

Even with XCSoar, I used the 303 routinely. Even with ClearNav, I still use
the 303 routinely. It's reliable, it's backup, it's very easy to read. One
advantage of the 303 versus any full on glide computer: there is very little
to get wrong. Provided that your database is correct, there is really no
(easy :-)) way to screw up a final glide calculation.
