Not a solution. My object is to reduce the amount of equipment in my
cockpit, not increase it. Besides, a cheap GPS engine doesn't give me
a certified FR. Better yet would be to hear a few other SN10 owners
say "Yeah, Dave. Talk to the hardware guys about getting a certified
GPS/FR integrated." Then I could secret my Cambridge Nav away and only
pull it out in the event I lose the primary log. No more dueling
databases. And the opportunity to more fully leverage the best
vario/speed to fly computer currently on the market.

Even with an integrated GPS, you would still need an separate antenna. As a
stand-alone gps engine with integrated antenna (see the Garmin 35 for
example) is only slightly bigger than most antennas, I don't see why "the
amount of equipment in the cockpit" objection would really prevent you from
being very happy with this solution. The story I've heard is that ILEC is
adamant about not getting the SN-10 certified as a recorder.
