drivers, simple questions like; how long you been on course or what's
your speed so far.................their stumpen dor an answer! Guess
what I should be asking is; What are you looking for in a PDA that
isn't already on your SN10?

JJ,

I think the problem there, is that they haven't learned how to use
their PDA. I'm sure those pilots would be just as confused with any
instrument, including the SN10.

The best feature of a PDA is the ability to take it home to learn how
to use it. But you do have to have the self discipline to not geek
out in the cockpit and fiddle with the thing.

Naw, the very best feature of a PDA is the ability to load the proper
database file into your nav computer on the grid (of the contest site
you just arrived at) without looking like a doofus. :-) :-)
