I have used AnywhereWx on an Ipaq 2215 for some time now. I can't imagine
flying IFR without it. There have been some issues with the XM Weather unit
forcing activation and apparently they have been pushing out firmware
updates to try and correct that. As to which system is easier to use I
suspect that this is like asking which flight planning software is best. I
occasionaly download and run the NavAir software and find it to be more
difficult to use. I'm sure that a lot of that is related to the fact that
I've used AnywhereMap for so long. Unfortunately CV has so far refused to
provide a demo version of their software. As to the display being better on
the NavAir that seems to be the general consensus when it comes to terrain
depiction. I don't think that will be an impact on the weather because the
granularity from XM is the same for both products. CV is supposedly going to
have support for VGA display modes soon.

Thanks to all who replied to my in-flight weather questions.

I think that I've narrowed my selection down to a PDA solution using the
iPaq 4700, along with packages for XM weather an moving map from either
Control Vision (AnywhereWx) or AirGator (NavAirWx).

Detailed information on the web sites of both companies is a little
sketchy, and the photos are unclear, but the photos appear to show a
slightly more impressive software display from AirGator's NavAirWx than
from AnywhereWx / Map.

I have been advised that AnywhereMap's "Cones of Safety" feature is
valuable, but I am trying to place a priority on the weather display and
easy of use. Does AirGator have a better system for weather?



Thanks,
