The original eTrex (yellow) logs GPS altitude, as do all recent Garmins, except those that have altimeters (which log barometric altitude). The problem with the yellow eTrex is that has a...
Thanks Robert.
Seems that as a standalone or backup device to not log altitude makes this series a little limited for gliding purposes.
Cheers, Jim.

The note below is about GPS's used for soaring. I think it will be of interest to the gliding community, based on the many e-mails I have received from glider pilots on the subject.

I agree with Paul wholeheartedly. While towing is not difficult when everything is right, things can go to hell in a handbasket real quick.
In my opinion, towing is not a way to build time early o...
