PDA Software

I just bought a PDA and am interested in knowing what aviation software you
gents have found useful. Just a cursory look at some of the usual suppliers
seems to indicate the software available tends to be a mite pricey.... enough so
that I'd want to be sure before I lay down any cash.

CoPilot is a must have and it's free.

Assuming it's a palm. You'll also want Paul T's database for it.


check out www.xcski.com for links to download.

That would be
http://xcski.com/~ptomblin/CoPilot/
It has links to download the program and to get to the waypoint generator
as well. As mentioned, only for Palm though because Laurie (the author of
CoPilot) uses Macs and I (the author of the database generator) use Linux
and Macs, so neither of us are going to be buying PocketPC PDAs any time
soon.

Unfortunately, it won't run on a Palm Zire. Thanks anyway.

Thanks very much. I'll be looking at this tonight and/or tomorrow.

Sister, that is a site. I spotted well over 100 aviation titles, not to mention
a bunch of nursing references. Thanks very much.

I'm spending the evening typing in contacts from work. I would have liked to
import them, but they didn't go in the way I wanted them and it was just easier
to manually enter them. Sure is a bunch, though. I'm taking a break as I type
this...

I have both a Dell Axim X50v and a Palm Treo 600. The newest Palm
operating system is so much better than Windows Mobile, especially for
stuff like this. The best part is restoring after a hard reset. With a
Windows Mobile system you have to go back and reinstall all your
programs and then redo all your settings and preferences. With the Palm
I simply put it in the cradle and sync it. It gets put back to the way
it was at the last sync.
