"Old days"? What Old Days?
Commonly referred to as "Back in the day", "Old school", "When you were just a sparkle in your mothers eye", or for those less sophisticated, "When you were still an itch in your daddy's pants". Hope this helps.

SYM will use the GPS position from your logger and pressure altitude from your instrument. There is a partial list here http://www.cumulus-soaring..com/software-pda.htm and I believe winds and TAS can also be input to SYM from certain instruments.

Now that was really helpful, KM, thanks so very much. My limited command of the English language is again very notable. As I understand it, WinPilot uses the very data you mention (from the 302) to determine immediate (vector) wind and precise position and pressure altitude for determining other parameters. SYM has nothing new over WinPilot.

Yea, Ive heard good things about the thermal assist on WinPilot. I used to like the thermal assist on SYM until I used the thermal assist on my S7. It is easily twice as accurate and displays the wind vector. Great for centering! What do you use to run WinPilot? I was on the WP site and they show the software for Iphone and Ipad but does anyone know if an Ipad (Or Mini)is sunlight readable?
Thanks
