None received by the BGA yet. The UK adopted loggers with enthusiasm.
I didn't get any claims with cameras and barographs for the last 6
years or so and most new cross country pilots seem to buy second hand
loggers (mostly EWs) from people who are upgrading to flarms,etc. The
GPS position recorder only makes sense if you already have an old
style barograph.

HI,

As soaring season in the northern hemisphere slides into our last
month or two of decent weather, I was wondering if anyone has taken
advantage of the newly approved GPS Position Recorder + Barograph
option to submit IGC Badge Claims. We at the SSA in the US are
currently backlogged with claims, so I don't have that data at my
fingertips in terms of documentation method. Wondering if anyone
from other countries would care to comment as well.

Not really looking for editorial content on whether or not GPS
Position Recorder + Barograph makes sense - really just looking for
some annecdotal or hard evidence that folks are taking advantage of
this option.

FWIW, in calendar year 2009, I believe we had only 1 distance claim
submitted using camera and baro. Am wondering if the concept of GPS
Position Recorder as replacement for camera has resonated with
pilots.

Thanks in advance,
Erik Mann
