I'd like to hear of it. TIA.


Check out www.airgator.com. They don't have AI or georeferenced
approach plates (yet), but the map display is said to be the nicest.
I'm still looking, myself.



I was not all that impressed with the AirGator product on the PDA.
AirGator does support VGA on the appropriate PDA, and they do display a
couple of weather products that the competition doesn't yet display, but
I found their map and navigational/flight planning functionality lacking.

The MountainScope product from PC Flight Systyems is the most impressive
terrain-mapping package that I've seen so far, but I haven't actually
tried it. I have heard others comment positively on it, however.
