Jon,

I have been using the IPAQ 4705 with the Anywhere weather. Here is my
experience :

Never leave the 4705 or the Garmin GPS10 bluetooth receiver in the plane
after you land. It won't handle high temperatures. I also keep a vent
pointed towards it while airborne. Twice when the weather go really nasty,
the operating system hung up (due to heat) and I had to reboot while
enduring turbulance.

If you go with the 4705, then you must also buy a 1 Gig SD card and install
the Anywhere Weather on it. Once you have it configured the way you want
it, back it up onto the SD card. That way, any time your system hangs, you
can just restore in less than 45 seconds and bring your last configuration
back.

I have a 430 in my Skylane and I use the 4705 as a backup and for XM
weather. They work great for situational awareness.

The newest release of the Anywhere weather is a vast improvement over the
last release. Seeing is believing. If you want a live demo, I am local in
Indy and can show it to you.

Good Luck.

....Robbie.

I have looked at it but was scared off by the $5000.00 price tag.

If you already have a 430, have you looked at the GDL69? It downlinks
near realtime Nexrad radar along with graphical metars.

An added bonus is XM satellite radio, which has better than CD quality
sound and over 110 channels.
