Data loggers have come a long way and have all come down in price and will
likely continue to do so as long as there is competition from other
manufacturers.The FlyWithCE recorder
http://www.wingsandwheels.com/flywit...xx_gps_dat.htm really
started the revolution to bringing prices down at just a little over
$100..the Colibri
http://www.wingsandwheels.com/lx_nav...x7007_coli.htm did the
same to reduce costs from the older Cambridge loggers and has become one of
the most popular and reliable loggers since it was introduced . The Colibri
introduced USB and MicroSD Cards as serial devices were on their way
out..Don't overlook the ERIXX IGC Data-Logger,
http://www.imi-gliding.com/en/erixx-...-recorder.html tiny and simple and
best of all no one has to be an IT professional to run any of these newer
devices, most will download directly to a PC with USB plug in or simple SD
Card reader as is the Nano
http://www.wingsandwheels.com/lx_nav...ano_flight.htm and any
of the aforementioned loggers produce FAI/IGC files that are easy to view
with any flight planning software like SeeYou without having to go through
complicated conversion processes like the original loggers.
Like everyone else I have several options all available and all can ship
same day from stock.

if you want to eliminate the barographs completely i'd say go with the
LXNAV Nano. Extremely small, entirely self contained in a unit that
is smaller than my cell phone, costs about the same as a 15 yr old
volkslogger or cambridge unit (~$600 at cumulus soaring and wings and
wheels and maybe others), easy operation. I just picked one up and am
looking forward to using it this upcoming season. I would think it
would be a great setup for rental.

just curious, why are you looking to retire the barographs? if you're
wanting your renters to be able to do closed course silver and gold
distance legs you can get some FlywithCE recorders (~$120 at Wings and
Wheels) to use in conjunction with the barographs. They have been
approved as "Position Recorders" in the USA to replace cameras and
turnpoint photos. Of course the Barograph alone is still all you need
to do free distance silver, gold and diamond distance and altitude
gains and silver duration.
