JeppView/FliteDeck, I got it to work in my plane today!

wrote elsewhere on this group, but I think it is for
this subject:

But, what about all the external wiring required and where do you
place the
laptop?

And, what is this about an external display?

The external wiring is messy, but managable since I fly my own and do
not need to remove all wiring after each flight. I placed my laptop in
the back of passenger seat.

The point of an external display is that 1. it is very small w/o
keyboard and much easier to mount than a laptop, 2. it is sun light
readable (most laptops are not), 3. it is touch screen and FliteDeck
could be used with touch screen only, 4. it is much cheaper than a
tablet PC, cheaper than ..... (you get the idea).

Which external display are you using? I searched for the T-700TS you
mentioned in an earlier post and that one only seems to go to 800x600
max resolution. Can flightDeck (3.0) run at that resolution? If so
that's an amazing value for the display!

I am using Tview T-700TS and FliteDeck does support 800x600. My only
complaint about Tview T-700TS is that it is sized to be 16:9, thus at
800x600, everything is a little wider & shorter. But for $200, I can
live with it.

If you are willing to spend a little more, there are 8.5 & 10.4 touch
screens available that are sized to be 4:3. I might do just that next
year, and retire the T-700TS for my Toyota truck.
