I would recommend dedicated gliding software for use in the glider, much more capable than SkyDemon for gliding. You get more choice (& free) on Android.

Push the boat out and get a iPad mini 5 with integral GPS (or even the previous 4)
Mount it on the yoke if you have one with a Garmin mount attached to a Brodit cradle and the jobs a good 'un. (if not use a RAM suction mount with DIN drilled backplate)

The touch screen is bonded directly to the LCD panel with no air gap, and there's a high quality anti-reflective coating. Also, it's bright too.
If you see an iPad Mini 4 or 5 next to any other tablet in bright sunlight, the difference is really noticeable.

What's the EC functionality like from back there? They have a new version with no external wires apart from the usb power, but I believe you can use an external battery pack if required.
