I am going tomorder a new vario soon, and had decided on the flymaster nav sd but I'm curious if there's any new offerings out there to look at? Seems like people like the skytraxx2.0, and digifly has a new offering called air. Features I'm interested are preloaded airspaces, height over ground display, ground speed, wind speed and direction, thermal marking, and barograph for climb/sink.

There is the new flytec 7030 coming out soon:

There is also the c-pilot evo:

The digifly air looks promising. There are a number of things that I don’t like about the flymaster nav but the fact it doesn’t do optimized path to waipoint from your position bothers me the most. They have recently added CESS and MCReedy function but a number of bugs persist.
The digifly air with a tablet running XCSoar may be a winning combo as you can tether the tablet to the air and push the telemetry data over bluetooth.

The Flytec 7030 is being redesigned, no release date known yet as of the current issue of Cross Country. The new owner of Flytec was "not sufficiently delighted".

Well I guess I won’t be holding out for that one then… thanks.

I wish there was a way to play with these expensive instruments before purchase.

Just that.
