DUMB ROOKIE QUESTION

Hi,

I certainly do wish that PDA/GPS systems were approved for all soaring
flights. But at this time they can't be used for:
- Badges
- Records
- US Contests
- FAI-OLC (OLC contest requiring FAI triangles)
- OLC League (OLC Speed Contest)

They can be used for OLC Classic.

Good Soaring,

Well, one reason would be to count flights toward badges or records.
But a basic logger doesn't have to cost anywhere near that. Paul Remde
has the Colibri for $945, the Volkslogger for $995, and the new EW for
$765.

my first ship and now looking to update the panel...so
heres the question...with the use of PDA driven Glide
Computers, moving maps and recently OLC approval on
the GPS logging...why would someone still spend $2K
+ on a GPS Logger? I mean with the computing power
of a PDA coupled to a GPS or GPS card and the software
from SeeYouMobile and others...why would you carry
a GPS logger?
