Handheld GPS adaptible to aviation

If you are looking for something loo cost, consider buying a PDA with a CF slot and just running something like PocketFMS (its free). You could also buy a $15 copy of MS streets for it for use in the car too. Finally got a chance to use the Navman PiN 100 today in flight with PocketFMS... Works great... Visible during daylight -- unlike my laptop... With the 2G memory card, I was able to put all the aviation and road maps on the machine... Unfortunately, the road map software loads extremely slowly when you have that much configured on the machine... Not sure if it is better than the aviation GPS units, but it's good enough that I won't be taking my laptop on every flight with me from now on...
