Therefor it should not be a real problem to get it legalised for this

word "safety".

It is a real problem. Laws are made by politicians, and politicians
only care about voters. Soaring pilots are a such small minority of
voters that politicians don't care about them.

Devices like this could also be used on GA aircrafts. Even polititions
fly, and I'm sure they will be happy to know the plane they are on
rely on GPS technology rather than a 40 years old radar technology.
Hopefully one day these devices will replace transponders on ALL
aircrafts and will be required on all aircrafts. Then the madness of
mid airs will end.
