Hi Bela,

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. Any
Pocket PC can run most any flight software. Conversely, most all software
runs on most all Pocket PCs. That is not completely correct - some software
won't run on the older Compaq Aero 1550 units. I have a detailed comparison
of flight software he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/software-ppc.htm If
you look down at the bottom half of the table it lists how well each program
connects to a variety of soaring flight computers and flight recorders.

Hi Paul,

I never bothered to evaluate the various systems before I bought mine,
simply followed the recommendation of an experienced racer & multiple
record holder pilot friend and am happy with his choice. Therefore I
know next to nothing about the other systems.

This may be a tall order, but could you somehow cross reference
compatibility with the various Pocket PCs suported AND the software
capabilities they run? This would probably take two additional
matrix, but what the heck, the winter months are coming... :-)

If my friend did not tell me about GNII I would still be running the
original CAI software...

Hi Bela,

Good point. Many people fly with Pocket PCs connected to their 302s.
However, Pocket PCs with soaring flight software can be connected to any

of
the GPS flight recorders listed in the comparison with similar results
(moving map, final glide, etc.), so I'm not sure that it would be fair

to
list that only with the 302. Does that make sense? My plan is the

leave
the comparison as it is and add more detail to my soaring flight

computer
comparison when it is completed (soon I hope). I already list a

complete
system with a 302 and Pocket PC on my Example Systems page.

Good Soaring,

Paul,
if I did not happen to own a Cambridge 302 / 304 combo your chart
would make me think that I don't have moving map, navigation,
airspace, etc. functions.
