John S wrote: Jim, I like some of the PDA based nav software (TeleType, Control Vision), but can't live with the tiny little screens on a PDA. And a nice little subnotebook computer--even used--is outrageously expensive. I don't know what you consider outrageous, but you might look into the Sony Vaio Picturebook. I use one of these for a moving map display for both aviation and vehicular travel (with a USB GPS receiver). The PC is about the size of a VHS videotape, and amazingly bright (can be read in direct sunlight, though I wouldn't do so by choice). The model I have is a Pentium 266 and runs Windows 98 - kinda obsolete, but does what I want it to very well. The cables are a nuisance, but that is also true of my portable aviation GPS. There is one offered right now on eBay at a buy-it-now price of $399. David Johnson
