Hello,


I am glider pilot and looking for a good navigation software running
on Ipad.


What would you propose?


Many thanks,
Bruno


Sorry, but I have to laugh at the iPAD fanboys (please forgive me if
you're not one of them). I recently attended a FIRC at which over 20
attendees were playing with their iPADs. During that two days, I
wanted to understand what kind of Aps made these devices worth having.
One guy showed me sectionals that cost him only $80 for an annual
subscription. How much do those old paper sections cost? Another
showed me real time weather maps (which is great if you didn't think
about checking the weather before heading out to the glider port). All
in all, the impression I got was that these "suckers" bought the iPAD,
then tried to justify owning them afterwards.

Now we have a fellow here who first bought an iPAD, and is now looking
for gliding software.

Let the war begin.


One of the great mysteries in life is how people get so worked up over
the choices that other people make, that don't actually affect them in
any way.
