On balance, are Moving Map PNAs better than Cambridge 302/303 styleLCD navigation?

I have used the SoarTronics BT Adapter to connect my Streak to my Powerflarm. It worked great. I suspect you could use it to connect to a 302 as well, though I can't remember for sure. It has a couple of standard 8ping network cable type connectors. I know people who have used the k6-BT for 302 connection though.

Unfortunately the XCSoar team hasn't had anyone jump in and write the appropriate drivers for the LNAV to get data from it. It is apparently different than the output of the 302. I don't know if it can provide air data or not, but it's not really the end of the world. It's pretty simple to set the wind manually if needed in XCSoar and I'll occasionally do that when I know I've got winds to deal with that XCSoar doesn't know about. Convergence flying is often a case where it can't discern winds or the winds it knows about will not match a final glide away from the convergence.

A driver for the L-Nav written by Alan Walls has been merged just a few days ago:

http://git.xcsoar.org/cgit/master/xc...t/?id=89582dab

It will appear in XCSoar-testing very soon: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...xcsoar.testing

I use the K6BT. It plugs directly into my CAI302 and pairs with my Streak.
