Hi Stewart,

I'm biased because I sell and support Cambridge products along with Glide
Navigator II, pocket*StrePla, SeeYou Mobile and flyWithCE Navigator, but I
can give you my opinion.

I like the Pocket PC system because it offers a nice moving map with a
graphical representation of available landing fields with reachable airports
highlighted on the screen. All software packages offer those features.

SeeYou Mobile is impressive software. I'm sure you would be happy with it
since you are using SeeYou now. Transferring waypoints, maps and tasks from
SeeYou to SeeYou Mobile is very easy. The only advantage I can suggest in
regard to Glide Navigator II is that it is the only software available that
can download flight logs and upload waypoints to your GPS-NAV. I'm pretty
certain that SeeYou Mobile can't do that. Also, SeeYou can export waypoint
files that can be used in Glide Navigator II.

Years ago I upgraded my L-NAV/GPS-NAV system with a Pocket PC and Pocket-NAV
(now Glide Navigator II). I found that I never used the GPS-NAV display or
the L-NAV final glide data any more. I used the Pocket PC for those
functions. I then used the L-NAV for a speed-to-fly vario only. However,
it was nice having the GPS-NAV LCD display and L-NAV final glide computer as
a back-up to my Pocket PC. I have had to use them as a backup though.

Those are my thoughts.

Good Soaring,

For the digital crowd...a question. I am running a
SNAV/GPSNAV quite happily...but will send the GPSNAV
in for calibration and can pay to have it upgraded
to run the Compaq. Before I go this route....

1.) I already have the Aero and all the cables and
mounts
2.) I do not race
3.) I fly CC...but generally check out the landout
fields early season...so the GPSNAV display tells me
distance...but I know where the field is. The SNAV
gives me glideslope to landouts.

What have you guys seen as the main assest when one
upgrades to this type of PDA? The moving map? I use
the GPSNAV to carry task information from the ship.
Any comments on the two types of software? I use
SeeYou for flight analysis and quite like it.
