Diddums on the fuel front - it costs us Brits the equivalent of $7.42
per imperial gallon - that's probably because we had an empire... once. Rgds, Derrick Steed |

Ray,
I turn my hand over, palm toward me, and use my fingernail by tapping away from me. By putting the other 3 fingers against the side of the IPaq, it steadies my hand so that I can easily hit what I am intending. Seems to work fine for me. Larry "Ray Lovinggood" wrote in message : I'm using an iPAQ with Glide Naviguesser II. Sometimes, when I want to pick another turnpoint other than the ones in the task, dragging the sliding bar down the screen goes too fast and I skip the ones I want. Then, I'll tap on the up or down arrow to scroll through the turnpoints. I find doing this task can be a little cumbersome at times and I want something 'faster.' That's why I want a 'more steady and precise' pointer than just my blunt finger. Also, I might want to tap on an airfield and find it's radio frequency, in case the wind stops blowing and I have to land. Yea, I can also grab the chart and look on it, too. I hate doing this stuff while flying because my eyes are in the cockpit and not looking outside. Anything to speed the task surely can't hurt. Voice commands to complete these tasks sure would be nice.

I just use my fingernail and it works fine. What software are you using which requires a stylus while flying? |
