Since my original posting on this topic, I've purchased an HP iPaq 5555 and
a NavMan 4400 wireless GPS. I've got those two working great together on the
ground, but have yet to test them in the air.

I haven't yet flown with them because I currenty fly rental sailplanes,
usually a Pilatus B-4, where there's no mount for the iPaq. It's easy to
tuck the GPS receiver somewhere (or even leave it in my pocket), but I have
no place to put the iPaq.

Does anyone make a device that lets me wear it on my leg, above me knee?

What have other pilots done in this situation?

The iPaq H5xxx models have a larger display than any of the other
current iPaqs. However they have inadequate audio sound level. The
H3xxx models also had the large display and had good audio. Look for
a H3950 or the new H5150. '

Regardless of the iPaq model you will need one of the Boxwave
"Cleartouch" antireflective films as sold by Craggyaero.com, along
with an efficient 5v power supply from the glider battery. A mouse
type GPS could be useful, like the Garmin G35HVS (12 volts).

Paul Remde has a good selection of bits and advice on his site

with it?
