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.

Douglas
