WinPilot-compatible GPS devices

Consider putting the ball near to the compass, that way the 'pilot's
own navigation instrument' can cover the compass which becomes
redundant once the instrument is in place. And if anything fails,
just swivel the 'instrument' away to see the compass!

This requires the compass to be mounted in a useful place . . but
this should be easy to arrange ;-)

Cheers,

Jim Kelly.

Please don't do that, it makes the rest of us nervous when your head is
down
in the cockpit, looking at a screen.

Check out this link. It's a knee board designed for the Ipaq. The point
about looking 'down' has merit, however considering the position of our legs
in a typical glass glider, this might actually prove to be forward facing
once you are seated. It's caught my attention. Might be worth a look.
