Thanks Richard. I have some "Clear Touch" protectors of BoxWave available
(shipped over from the US at about 9$9,- each). I am not sure this is the
right stuff though.
B.t.w. I use the KEIM iPaq mount in our new Ventus. Quite expensive but

high
quality. Works great.

Make sure you get the Clear Touch or Brando (In Europe) Brand Screen
Protectors. The tipical ones you buy in Office Depot etc. do not work.

Hi John,

I use an iPaq 3950 and run WinPilot AV on it. The way I use to improve
readebility of the iPaq is to set a higher contrast and avoid that all

of
the landscape gets a color assigned.
With WinPilot running go to 'menu' then 'setting2' and mark elevations

to
on. Then press 'edit'. Set Floor level to e.g +1, Color shift to

e.g -1
and
Contrast to x2.
I use these settings with good results.
Did not install yet the anti glare film, but better do that I guess.

In response to your question Paul:
I 'turn off the color' as a function of the Winpilot program. I

don't
remember exactly but I think it is the topographic map display in

one
of the setup windows. This feature sounded great when I bought
Winpilot Pro but really isn't necessary if I keep my eyes out of the
cockpit. Viewing the display is significantly improved in B/W vs.
Color.

In regards to comments by others: I do not understand why people are
so concerned about lookout when using a PDA. For me it is a lot

easier
to use a PDA than a sectional for most common navigational purposes.

To me is seems all a matter of preparation no matter what you are
using in regards to outside the cockpit awareness. If you are

learning
to use one or the other in the air you will not be as aware as you
should be.

Know your PDA's funcionality BEFORE you fly.

Hi,

I do finally have a few TEKK cradles for older iPAQs (3100, 3600,

3700).

Apparently, then, there is more than a little variability in

the
Mertins
mounts - quality wise. I was completely satisfied with the fit

and
finish of the one I received.

Same here, I have been very satisified using my Mertins mount

for
the
past 6 months with my IPAQ 3635. At least at the time I was

looking,
the TEKK mounts were not available for the older IPAQ's.
