* WARNING: if goal time is done using GPS, 12
channels models with latest software upgrades should be used. Other models may
not be accepted as time recording is not accurate (38, 40, 45, II are not
accurate).
Garmin models like the eTrek (basic model), eTrex
Summit, eTrex Camo and the eMap must be avoided as their tracklog recording
parameters cannot be changed (it only work in "auto" mode).
Garmin models have been used for a couple of
years by the pilots. Their memory is limited compared to the TopNavigator and
the MLR units.
The high-end eTrex models (Legend, Venture,
Vista and also the Garmin 76) allows time interval based tracklog recording and
are supported by CheckIn starting with release 18. They use a different plug
that the older Garmùin models.
The Top Navigator is a "all in one" unit that
includes altimeter, variometer, air speed, thermometer and GPS. It has been
specially designed a few years ago for hang-gliders and paragliders. It can
record very long flights and will provide a tracklog with a 10s resolution.
The MLR SP24XC unit is a new model made by a
french company which included all specifications required for
flight-verification:
- huge memory (4000 points in the current version)
- fast download (4000 points in 30s to 1mn)
- unforgeable MARK/ENTER
- altitude stored in the track log and marked
waypoints
- serial number readable by software
This model also offer a 36h autonomy and has roughtly
the same size/weight as a Garmin 12.
