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

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^)

I realize that is a workaround option but I am looking for a solution
using the in cockpit equipment I currently have. I am happy with the
info while flying just looking for an easier way to get the data out
at the end of the day.

Is it easy to remove the recorder? I unscrew one thumbscrew, disconnect
a couple of cables, and take the thing home at the end of the day to
download there. Just takes a 12-14 volt supply or battery.
