I was wondering if there is a compatible software for aviation use.

Aviation enthusiasts, prepare dynamic multi leg flight plans and use
them while flying. Make flight plans based on POIs -airports,
navaids, cities,... - and get automatic calculation of headings,
winds, time and fuel!

In the air, connect a GPS and follow your course on maps and legs with
automatic recalculation of heading, destination,...

Minimum : Palm OS 3.5 minimum (high resolution screen support)
For GPS navigation assistance: NMEA GPS support (Build in, Blue tooth,
Compact Flash, Memory stick, Clip-on, or external devices)
For on-line cartography: Smartphone, wireless connection, land modem
or PC-Internet gateway (MocchaPPP, SoftickPPP)

Can I use DeLorme Tripmate and Earthmate GPS receivers?
Yes, but these receivers are not recommended. We don't recommend
DeLorme receivers since they have no backup battery they often take
long periods of time to lock in. We especially discourage the use of
DeLorme receivers for use in aviation. See specific information below
on how to initialize the DeLorme receivers.

I forsee one of those "open your wallet and repeat after me,
_help yourself_" moments in your local friendly workshop.
