Which GPS system do you use?
A friend of mine and I still navigate with the maps but now the time
has come that we want to purchase a GPS system. Any recommendations?

You should consider everything from a used Garmin GPS12XL to a LX9000.
Something in that range will suit you perfectly well.

You might get better help maybe if we knew something useful like which
country you are in/where you fly, whether you rent or own (do you need
a portable system or are you after a fixed system?), what type of
glider(s) you fly, the type of flying you are interested in, your
goals, whether you want to compete in OLC or sanctioned contests, how
technically sophisticated you are (do you want to deal with a PDA/PNA
setup and maintenance?), are there any specific things you want to
cover (e.g. just very basic navigation, need airspace displayed?),
what is your price range, any interest in Flarm/PowerFLARM as the GPS
to drive a display?... whatever you think may help. Knowing you have a
friend is nice, but not that useful.

we fly in USA and own a glider, we need a portable system, yes we want
to upload the data to OLC, basic navigation is good (we can deal with
PDA etc), price range $ 500
