Also, I read in the manual about "GPS" but there are next to zero

Thanks, John DeRosa

I believe that the B50 and B57 are totally separate systems. *The B57
has two units, one which is a vario gauge that takes its information
from the main unit. *You can't use a B50 as the gauge for the B57.

You can output the B57 info to a PDA if the B57 has the right hardware.

Your best bet is to email Borgelt. *He is pretty responsive.
