I used this at the PreWorlds in Argentina, running on internal GPS with SeeYou Mobile. It was faultless and very accurate on final glides . I was flying a Std Cirrus and our tasks all completed with a 100m minimum altitude at 3km finish radius. It was dead nuts on every time. I mounted it inside the canopy on my rented Cirrus using the suction mount provided with the unit - worked great the whole contest and in 104F heat many days.
I've put together 2 tutorial videos on YouTube
