Except variometer part in Zander SR940/GP941 system is still one of the
best, and moving on might easily mean stepping down.



That's fine. It's like the Cambridge 302, which I currently have, many
people like its variometer. If my logger goes out, I'll buy a Nano and
leave the 302 in place. Nano is tiny, it's not like it's a panel space
issue. I'll let the 302 gps still drive my moving map, which is a Nook
with TopHat.

I've been accused in the past of "hating all 302's", which was a stupid
comment (even for R.A.S.). Making rational decisions about obsolescent
hardware isn't anything to be ashamed of.
