Yup that pretty much summarizes it. In general I don't need to be tapping
away at the keyboard. More often than not I'm changing zoom ranges. That's
done with the hat switch on the pda so it's not much of an issue. The
buttons on the pda are configurable and most common functions are taken care
of there. In the times that I have needed to use the keyboard to type a new
route or something like that I have been able to do it but not without some
difficulty. I wouldn't let that stop you from getting it though.

For me, if the turbulence was "bad enough", I wouldn't be messing with the
PDA, as I use it for situational awareness only. Having said that, there a
few things that assist in rough air. First you can assign functions to the
physical buttons on the PDA. Second, Control Vision has a feature called
"Rough Air Buttons", that are icons that you can show on the screen for
several functions. Third, Control Vision supplies a keyboard with larger
character keys.
