Announcing WingX for the Pocket PC

Hilton,

wow, you guys sure are quick! Ok, here are some thoughts:

- Price: Much more attractive now. As you have hinted at (and I
understand you can't say it outright, but I can), some other offerings
look much more cobbled together by hobbyists. Hmm, we should all
complain some more and see what you do to the price then ;-)

- User waypoints: A big thing for me. Let's say I want to cut a close
corner around some airspace next to my home drome. I need to plan with
a waypoint I'll put right there. Also, this brings me to...

- European waypoints: Many other programs realize that it's difficult
to get a reliable source for that (Jeppesen has them, of course). So
they let users compile them and put them up for download. There's a
risk of error (really higher than Jepp?), but everybody is made aware
of that risk. At least, they have them. Some European authorities have
their airport and nav aid info on the web for free, e.g. the UK and
France.

And two more questions:

- Is there a way to factor wind into the flight planning feature?
That's pretty much a deal breaker for me. One other software I
mentioned has an option to input winds aloft for all relevant altitudes
- and the flight planning will use that accordingly. As I mentioned,
Davies' (sp?) Copilot for the Palm is one of the gold standards for PDA
flight planning, IMHO.

- How do I get the Socata TB-10 Tobago POH data to you? I could e-mail
you our POH as a PDF, but it would be in German.
