Garrecht
Overview
The Garrecht Volkslogger is known for its reliability. It also works
great with the ILEC SN-10 because the SN-10 can send a task declaration to
the Volkslogger.

Garrecht Volkslogger
This product is no longer available.
GPS flight recorder, IGC Approved,
Works great with an SN10 because the SN10 can send task declarations
directly to the Volkslogger. Note: This unit does not come with a
12V power supply. I recommend the
Pwr-12V-500mA unit below. It is required if you want to
transfer waypoint files and flight logs to a PC while at home (unless
you use a 12V battery).

Free OEM Version of StrePla
The Volkslogger package includes a special version of StrePla
flight analysis software. It has limited functionality but can be
used to upload waypoint files to the VL and download flight logs.
It can also (I think) display the flight trace on a 2D map but cannot
display it in 3D mode. It includes a coupon that can be used to
upgrade to the full version of StrePla for a reduced price (the
standard StrePla upgrade price). More information on StrePla
is available here.
Cables
I offer cables for connecting the Volkslogger to a variety of Pocket PCs
and the ILEC SN-10. For connecting the VL to an SN-10 and the
SN-10 instrument panel connector you will want a
SN10b-Pnl-Vb-1. For
connecting the VL to an SN-10 and a Pocket PC you will want a
SN10b-Pnl-PS5a-VLb-1.
For connecting to any Pocket PC please consult the
Cable and Cradle Selection Guide.
