XCSoar opinion

I'm getting into XC flying and I would like to get opinions on the use of XCSoar for navigation. Is it useful, reliable, is it worth using etc? *Thanks in advance. It's free. It's well supported. It has more features than I'll ever use. Pick up a used PDA on ebay (under $50.00) and a GPS source, and you're ready for the OLC. If you're going to do any badge flying, bite the bullet and buy a Certified Flight Recorder (CFR). There are lots of good units out there, but they're not cheap. Expect to pay $700 - $950. Best Regards, Jim
