Garmin gpsmap 76s, glide ratio, airspace zone

I use the marine mount which I think is more secure. At my club all the
gliders are equipped with a drilled piece of metal to attach such device
with screw and bolt . The marine mount has a lock mechanism to lock the gps
in the mount so it is fairly secure, you can fly in turbulent air (which we
like!) without risking to get the gps stuck in the commands after a "bump".

I recommend the Ram Mounts and especially the suction cup for use in
different ships or driving for that matter.

Curious. I have a GPS76S and plan to use it on club ships this season. I
wasn't sure about trying a mount. Does the suction cup thing work all
right?
I wouldn't want it to come loose during flight. For this season it would
mostly be on a 2-33, 1-26, 1-34 etc.

Gilles,
You made a great choice. I use the 76S in my 1-26 and bring it with me
for
use in club ships. I recommend the Ram Mounts and especially the
suction
cup
for use in different ships or driving for that matter.

The glide ratio is a bit twitchy, but if you are on a straight run it
gives you
a basic idea. I find I use the ground speed alot to judge the winds.
The
simple arrow to home or your next waypoint is a great indicator

If you fly in two seaters, and the back seat is lacking instruments,
it's
a
great back up.

Lastly, I've had some contact with Garmins tech supports, and there were
hints
of more soaring/hang gliding software updates to come.

Wad,
I've used it in all three ships. I don't know if this matters, but I've always
had it on the left side of the canopy. In the rear seat of the 2-33 it's great
on the left window.

I've used it in a cherokee, but had to wet the cup to get it to stick to the
surface.

Just make sure the "glass" is clean and that you push the cup on securely.
I've never had it pop off, but it doesn't hurt to check it now and then.
