Shoot, for $100 more the Nano 3 looks like the way to go.

i like the electronic vario on the Nano3, but the user experience for
operating its modes and screens belongs in a cardboard box in the garage
with the barograph. I'd rather use a soaring app with my touchscreen iPad
or iPhone.

Not Possible for any IGC Badge.

You cannot use an Ipad or Iphone for evidence of any IGC Badge, Diploma or
Record. They do not conform to the requirements of the Sporting Code
Section 3, in particular Chapter 4 and it's Appendix.

I was talking about slaving the high-res GPS in the data recorder to the iPad for navigation, not recording
