Any useful tips??

Brian,
Paul Remde has huge amounts of information on his website regarding
PDAs, software, etc. Start he

I'm a big fan of the Hp3870 with a cheap Bluetooth GPS, and XCSoar. I
recently purchased a lot of 5 PDAs for $110.00 including shipping.
New Batteries were required for all but one, at around another $20.00
each. XCSoar is probably not a good match for what you want to do.
