I finally updated my personal logbook, sitting down with a small stack of journey logs, a calculator and a sunset/sunrise time database, to make entries for about two and a half years worth of flights. I've never got that far behind before. I don't advise it. There's a muscle in my middle finger that hurts like I've been flipping people off all day. It's oddly nostalgic being reminded of events of that day as I copy the flight details into my logbook.

It can be set to start a flight based on GPS speed, as can others, and automatically log a flight. I only use paper now for flights requiring an endorsement. You may have different requirements however north of the border.
That looks pretty awesome, and I'd love it if it had a check in function for when a pilot goes on duty so I could demand that my pilots use it for duty time tracking--except that company policy requires that cellphones are off for the duration of a flight, except for emergencies. I've stretched the definition of "emergency" to "I have an operational need to contact an ATC agency that I can't call by radio," but I don't actually WANT my phone on through my flights. The battery would be dead at the end of the day.
I could also get away with only logging the bare minimum to show currency, but if my awesome job ever went away, I'd need to "show my logbooks" at a subsequent interview.
