Nice situational awareness gizmo. Primary navigation tool? No way.

OK, I can agree with that. Thanks for the post. That includes a GPS etc.
I find it highly 'optimistic' that pilot would use a Pocket PC's instrument
chart in flight as their primary which is what most pilot tend to say; e.g.
"I don't always have my paper charts", or "This is cheaper", etc...


With PocketPlates and the Seattle Avionics products, you can print the
plates for your destination and alternates as part of your pre-flight
planning. If you find yourself in a pinch during the flight, you can
always pull the information off of the plate on the PocketPC. Printed
or not, I certainly don't stare at the plate during the approach--I pull
off the important information and focus on flying the airplane.
