The PNA version should run on this device (it is Windows Mobile). There is a PRO version, but it sounds like it may not be fully implemented or tested. If you download the v12 file, you will find it labeled V10. There is some hope that it would work, or work well enough. The question mark is whether the serial ports get correctly configured.


Too bad Winpilot doesn't do one last gasp for this device - I think there would be fair demand as the screen brightness seems to be a large step up from anything else that runs WPP. And even though effectively unsupported there are some of us who think WPP is still a step above the others.


We are eagerly awaiting the results of Tom's tests.....


I emailed Tom directly about the details of running WPP on this PNA, and I believe he working on that as we type. *I run WPP9 on an IPAQ 3955 as my secondary nav system (primary is ClearNav), mostly for the excellent 'bread-crumb' display on WPP (not the "thermal assistant") as it is really helpful when trying to make that crappy 1kt thermal work at 1000' agl. *I would really love to have this same functionality on a device that I could actually see in bright sunlight! ;-).

Let me try that again (damn Google Groups!)
