For XC flights you need to hear a vario with a sound of good-quality. You\u2019ll appreciate an actual height, a flight speed and a compass \u2013 these are basic functions. You can fly without them also and don\u2019t have to take any devices for a flight with you but that\u2019s not a good idea. Nevertheless, in practice you won\u2019t use a computation of glide ratio to another turn points in a new flying area. And the navigation with a dart \u2013 if you\u2019ll define at home in advance your target points or some points in case of need\/emergency, then it\u2019s fine. Man proposes, life disposes. So at the end, I choose the easiest and energetic undemanding devices. The good trick is to have the same charger for a camera or you can take out batteries and use them in a headlamp. On the market are a lot of devices and possible combinations. I use a basic Brauninger and the easiest black-and-white GPS to don\u2019t feel bad if I\u2019ll lose it somewhere. I don\u2019t use a GPS on my phone for flying because I want to save the most of the battery for listening to music and audio books. But it really depends what everyone prefers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
