There are cool things about all the different flying Vario / GPSs combos out there for free flying. But none of them have all the features that would make them totally excellent to use. I bought a Brauniger Competino and have got quite keen on it but the one thing its missing is the ability to work with Ordnance Survey landranger map references (the ones that look like SE 354 687). I asked the guys at Brauniger if they had plans to include it in the future and they said no, but I think if all of us who own Brauniger Competinos and Compeos and Flytec 5020s and 5030s got together and shouted then they might do it. Crucially, if all the people who would buy one of these if they did have OS refs on them also signed up then that would say to Flytec and Brauniger that there\'s extra sales to be made. So if you want OS map references and OSGB1936 (that\'s a technical bit that makes the map references work in the UK) on your Flytec or Brauniger then click \"already got\" and sign up below. If you\'d buy one if they did have OS refs then sign up and click the option "buy one" below. Cheers Pete

Seeing this grow makes me feel a bit less crazy for asking for these map references. It is a grind to keep pushing when the company says no but seeing your names here reminds me why this matters for all of us flying in the UK.

Flytec needs to get with the program. We fly in the UK so give us the UK grid. Simple as.
