.... And those are fine for the OLC, but for badge work, you'll still
need an IGC Certified Flight Recorder. Minimum price I've seen is
$750. *None of which answers the original question, but I suspect the

Oh, and what about one of my earlier attempts at the 300 km Diamond
Goal flight? I flew the "wrong" triangle. Yes, I flew 300 km and got
the Gold, but I didn't do the triangle that I had declared in the
Volkslogger. Doh! Oh well, just gave me a good excuse to go do it
again.
