Default Palm PDA software for aviation

Anyone have any recommendations for aviation software for the Palm PDA. I'm
thinking of AirCalc Pro through AvShop but there's a bunch of stuff
available from Palm Gear that's also shareware.

Try Copilot from Laurie Davis. It's freeware, with optional no strings
attached donation. It's just short of fantastic:
http://www.palmflying.com/copilot.html .

You can download a database for it (also free) which makes it very useful.

Same database can be configured to be downloaded as waypoints onto your GPS.
Have all your local airports available on your non-mapping gps. What a great
combination.

More info on Copilot and links to the database can be found here ...

It is necessary to get JPEGs of one's offspring, if only so that you can
call them up on your screen at work and remember what they look like
during late-night sysadminning when you should be home with them. -- adb

I tried it, spend more money than it costs now and I'm not using it
anymore. Too many problems with other programms and a bit buggy.

So save your money and download CoPilot. It is the best.
