My dad has a GPS already, he'd like to know if there is PC map software
which is aviation oriented, and/or supports Jeppesen data rather then
buy a new aviation specific GPS?

The one-step answer is: Look into PocketFMS, www.pocketfms.com

Some thoughts, though: Is it really practical for him to have a PC in the
cockpit? Consider space, display visibility in bright sunlight and
battery running time.

Flights over 10k' (hard drive issues)...


I was concerned about the 10k limit but that is 10k at 131F. Figure the
density altitude and you are ok until the point where you will require
oxygen.
