A barometer would be an improvement. A holder for the stylus would be good too.

I really like the Aquila GPS, but I have some improvement idea:
– Validated IGC file creation
– A newer Android version
– A bigger battery capacity
– The battery charged percentage not correct, the device shut down around ~10%

I missed such a device in the past
Sorry, no french !
It is a very good device with a bright display. Without external battery it is only running 1,5 hours, but it works perfect with external battery. I like it very much.
