Jay.. that might work... but if it is just a TV screen... you need the CPU
behind it to run the moving map and receive/process the GPS inputs.

Glider pilots use PDAs (iPaq) and WinPilot for moving map with GPS input
from a data logger or other GPS receiver, The WinPilot and other similar
software provides moving map, glide calculations, and thermal marking, also
can determine winds aloft from thermal drift.

Would it be possible to use something like this:

screen
for sale on Ebay)

...hooked up to a GPS receiver? Is there a way to output a GPS moving

map
to something like this?

The price is certainly attractive... And -- if it were possible -- you

sure
couldn't beat the size of the moving map!
