60$ for a used Palm TungstenT

Bluetooth GPS: 50$
110$ for a complete Navigational System incl. OLC logging.


Similarly if you want a Windows CE system:
HP3850 (or 3950) ($60-80 on eBay)
Softwa GPS_LOG or xCsoar (both free)

There is no question that the OLC generates a lot of motivation and
provides a purpose to get away from circling the home field. These
folks have done a tremendous job.

It provides an opportunity to get more folks flying more often, and
having a purpose or desire to stretch their flights.

My current understanding, the required loggers are in the $750 +
range.

Is anyone aware of lower cost loggers that would allow us to get more
folks involved in this very motivational activity?

This does not involve the top ranking pilots, but the entry fee is
currently a bit high for the casual pilot.
