I'm trading in my CAI-302 for a ClearNav XC vario.* Looking at the

The XCSoar Manual also says nothing about the CNv vario though it
states that it will work with any vario which outputs NMEA data..*
Both my Android phone and my Dell Streak 5 connect via bluetooth and
work great.



Has anybody tried this combination yet?* My new vario should arrive
some time next week...

I did the 302 for CNv swap a while back. Drop in replacement. Same XCSoar settings, same in flight functionality. (IOIO box and Streak running XCSoar)

Turnpoint database load, task declare, vario config and log download are different. The CNv uses a USB stick to do all that.

Does that apply to WinPilot (Pro) as well? Drop-in replacement? Connectivity to Avier?

Not completely (sorry).

!w (air data) and !g (bugs, ballast, Mc) are fully supported. Task entry/declaration and file d/l over serial connection are *not* supported! Attempts to put CNv in command mode will cause data transmission to stop.
