I too think a logbook would be useful, but I don't think it would have to be a standalone app. Maybe an area of the screen could be touched to input initial Hobbs reading, then when flight logging stops at the end of the flight the GPS could ask for the end Hobbs. That way 'loggable' time could be measured. Obviously these prompts could be turned off if the pilot elects to log using the traditional method.
Couple this with a 'Pilot Profile' alongside the 'Aircraft' button in Plan's menu where hours outside of SD could be entered, flight conditions and comments could be added or omitted from logs and pilot qualifications could be added. It could also do calculations such as 90-day rule currency etc. eventually. The print center could also allow queries and reports to be printed straight from the flight logs.
As I said, it doesn't necessarily have to be a standalone app, SD already has the capability.
Personally, I keep a backup of my logbook on a spreadsheet I made. It has separate tabs for Aircraft, Airfields, Flights etc. and can tell me when my 90 days are up, how current my charts are, when my ratings & medicals expire, when my life jackets & PLB need servicing & various other things.
