Default Flight download

Recently purchased a glider with an LNAV/GPSNAV Model 20 system. Does
anyone know of a simple and easy way to download the flight data
after a flight. I was hoping there might be something on the market
that would let you use a flash card or SD card etc. without having to
drag the laptop out to the field each time I fly. Any suggestions?


Any of the older iPaqs will do the job using a Cambridge-supplied
utility, I'm partial to the 38xx models, myself (if you get one of the
earlier models, make sure you get a flash card sleeve with it). You can
get them for around $100 on eBay. Get a mount, cable, 12V to 5V
converter, plus one of the free glide/navigation programs (GPS_LOG or
XCSoar), and you'll have a 21st Century cockpit for about $250 total 8^)
