First, thanks Dan for the detailed description for the XC Soar part. I don't use XC Soar, so I couldn't help with that.



As for the Bluetooth adapter, I'm not sure if a generic unit would work. The LX Nav adapter has an RJ connector that plugs directly to the PDA port on the back of the V7 and is wired correctly. I suppose if someone knew what they were doing, they could probably make one. But, the LX Nav adapter is only 75 Euro compared to hours of tinkering.

Dan, thanks very much for your excellent reply! After all that, I think I may well just get a flarmview (around $300), because I agree, it sounds like the PNA might get a bit cluttered!

Mike - this might help:

A 57 mm Flarmview unit will be available from LX Nav in October for any one looking for something that mounts a little better in their panel than the current rectangular Flarmview.

I am very happy with the Flarmview I purchased from Paul Remde. Shocking how small it actually is, so you could pretty easily mount it with any number of standoffs if you needed to. I have it plugged into a Portable unit via a Soartronic BT module. So my Streak gets GPS via bluetooth and the Flarmview is cabled. So far that works well, aside from the portable flarm not performing as well as the Bricks.
