why would you carry a GPS logger?

A.) Badge flying...which still can be done with camera
and barograph?

B.) To join the 5-10% of pilots who fly contests.

C.) OLC....


Cameras and barograph have been all but replaced by
loggers, for recreational type flying...a logger is
an expensive extra. Because of the nature of our sport,
some pilots will attempt to cheat if given the chance...hence
secure data loggers. Now if someone wants so desperately
to get a Silver Badge that they would cheat, I say
give it to them.
