GPS question
I received a handheld Magellan Meridian Color GPS for Christmas. How
good a GPS is this for aviation purposes? Are there any accessories or software/database packages that are aviation related and suitable for use with this GPS unit? Thanks. |

Magellan (motto: "Where you go, we go") apparently does not think we go into
the air. |

Are there any accessories or software/database packages that are aviation related and suitable for use with this GPS unit? If it has a patch cord for use with a PC, you can probably adapt it. I use a Garmin III Plus this way.

You can use it to drive another system such as a PDA using ControlVision software. May not be your preferred answer but it is worth looking into. Ron Lee |

CJ – I was afraid of that, but thanks for the answer.
Dan – It has a patch cord, but I think the problem is going to be getting a worthwhile database into the unit. I'll take a closer look at your web page. Thanks for the help. Ron – This sounds like the best option – and my wife just got a color Palm. Are there aviation systems for the Palm? |
