Hi Bernard, In our LS8 we use a 302 and Flarm via a K6 Mux unit to integrate Flarm alerts with Vario and GPS data from the 302, and then to a K6 Bluetooth unit. The K6 units work very well together so it's pretty much plug and play.
We use a Nexus 7 tablet with Bluetooth running XcSoar, which works very well for those of us who's advancing age mean we need a large screen. The Nexus 7 has built in GPS as well, so you have a portable unit. Nexus 7 can be purchased in JB Hi FI or online, you only need the basic unit with 16GB, which last time I looked was circa $300. Very readable in direct sunlight and providing its charged before flight and connected to glider battery via a USB power connection (we use the one that came with the LX Nano, which we use as a backup logger) it will last a full day easily. The Nexus 7 includes Wifi so you can upload your trace direct from the Nexus without requiring a laptop and you can also download maps, turn points, weather etc. So pretty much independent of other computing needs, especially as SeeYou now runs on Android.
