Data logger

I am need of a new data logger, My Cambridge 20 is no longer good for
OLC so now I must pay. I would like a IGC approved and I want it
simple, plug and play. Any suggestions?

Hi John,

I highly recommend the LXNAV Nano. They are very popular, simple and
reliable.

I second the LX Nano. Great little flight recorder.

Will the nano talk to the Lnav or Mnav ?

Nothing can talk to an M-Nav except your fingers.

Hi Tim,

Yes and no. The L-NAV needs GPS data for wind calculations. The Nano can
send that - no problem. But the L-NAV also would like to receive "distance
to destination" data. The Nano doesn't have a waypoint database and doesn't
do navigation, so it can't send distance to destination data out.
Therefore, the L-NAV wouldn't be able to show final glide data because it
won't know how far away you are from your destination.

The Naviter Oudie can send GPS data and distance to destination data to the
L-NAV. However, I don't see much point to that because the SeeYou Mobile
software on the Oudie is a better final glider computer than the L-NAV.
But it is nice to get GPS data to the L-NAV so it can calculate wind while
cruising.

The best thing to connect to an L-NAV is a GPS-NAV. Only the GPS-NAV can
send GPS data, distance to destination data, and destination airport
elevation data to the L-NAV.

The Nano is great. It is stand alone with no outside power required.
Keep your Cambridge setup, and use the 20 for navigation. At the end
of the flight just remove the Nano and plug it in to your computer to
download to OLC-very simple. BTW the Nano works very well with the
Blue Tooth connection-for future reference.

GPS-NAV, Nano or FLARM as a back-up.
