Hi Brian, If the M5 is a Microsoft Windows CE platform (some Garmin iQues were Palm devices) then you should be set in regard to hardware. /snip/ Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. THAT sounds good! The blurb mentioned Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Edn. and I THINK that's what they renamed Windows CE. Your site offering looks good too... Brian W WinPilot has a VFR program. I don't know anything about it, but you can find it (and a demo) at www.craggyaero.com. Brian W WinPilot looked good at the fist glance, and priced right too... |

I have a whole lot of sales resistance to the Garmin 626's or whatever of this world, that go for prices in four places of digits. And the current run of aviation GPSs all seem high... But then, I searched on moving map displays and Bingo! plenty of better priced hits. I was specially interested to read that sailplane enthusiasts have been using PDAs with aviation apps loaded for a while now. I read about Anywhere Map, and one or two others. My interest is the one finger selection of a destination airfield with distance to go, cross track error, and heading and bearing to steer. Any useful tips?? Thanks in advance Brian W WinPilot has a VFR program. I don't know anything about it, but you can find it (and a demo) atwww.craggyaero.com. It's $200. Throw in a PDA and gps card and you would still be under $500. You might do better finding a used aviation gps on ebay. If inexpensive is your main interest... you can find free soaring software that will do the things you mentioned and gps card and pda would be easily under $300. If you can live with soaring software... Paul Remde's site is very good. WinPilot. Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look... While looking for a straight PDA I landed a GPS equiped version called iQue from Garmin - an M5. Compatible aviation apps is now the name of the game.... Brian W- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Brian, I am the WinPilot dealer for the US and provide sales and support. http://www.craggyaero.com/WinPilot.htm Yoke Mount options, cradles and power converter also available. http://www.craggyaero.com/pdam.htm Give me a call if you want to talk about systems for VFR. Richard www.craggyaero.com Wow! I'm unused to this level of responsiveness. I got a private note from Wayne Paul explaining the soaring context - that it is a smaller cooperative world - but having two MovingMap initiators responding to a note? That's luxurious! Then I had a flight of the imagination: 8000 ft, no engine, in the middle of featureless country?? SOP for sailplanes, I guess. That would make a Moving Map with reachability and direction precious (I imagine...) Thanks again. Brian W |

You may also wish to look at some new softwa “skydemon”, aimed at
power flying. It has just been released, and I think covers USA airspace and terrain. Not free, but thought by its beta testers to be very good. In one application, generates weather, NOTAM, and radio frequencies etc. for a planned flight. http://www.skydemon.aero (I have no commercial connection, just looked at the product during beta testing. It is not very suitable for gliding, however.) Chris N. |

Flightmaster with Copilot are highly regarded palm airplane programs
and are very affordable. A quick google search should direct you to the current dealer. You will be impressed. I have no connection with that company. I had an earlier version of these that ran on my old palm visor. Amazing capabilities for cheap. |
