Default K6 BT Bluetooth adapter opinions

I use an IOIO adapter instead of the K6 BT but that doesn't matter. I take my 302 data and PowerFlarm data into the IOIO and send it to XCSoar running on a Dell Streak 5. With this sort of setup you'll get much more accurate calculations from XCSoar (glide range, STF, etc.) because it will have accurate airspeed, air temp, etc. Highly recommended.

Hi all,

Does anyone have first hand experience of using a K6 BT adapter (http://www.k6-team.de/index.php?a=165) with a vario such as a Cambridge 302 and nav software like XCSoar?

I'm wondering if there is a noticeable benefit to using the vario's data streams versus a nav device's inbuilt sensors?

I have noticed that my android device's GPS and altitude readings can be a little coarse and of course, there's no total energy variometer inside my Galaxy S8.

Thanks
