Is there a version available for windows?

Product Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

Product Description:
AFDX brings the Airport/Facility Directory to your Mac's desktop.
But not only do you get the airports included in the standard
A/FD, but all of the private airports and other landing facilities
that are normally excluded from the A/FD. Every landing facility
listed in the FAA's airport database- airports, heliports,
gliderports - is available to you in AFDX. AFDX also includes an
extensive navaid database that covers North America, Central
America, and the Caribbean.

Sounds like a nice program for the Mac. I don't got a Mac.

I was hoping for a more portable download format
(txt, pdf, maybe html).

Actually what I really want is something for the Palm OS

Thanks,
Sydney

Sydney, I ran across what looks to be a pretty comprehensive AF/D
reference for the Palm, except that it is not free.

$39.99 gets you the software and one full year of updates.

I am considering it but I am in the process of upgrading my handheld
first.

The 2002 AOPA Membership CD has a facilities directory, with download to the
palm.

I second this suggestion. It served me well during my Palm days and they've
recently released a PocketPC version to keep me happy.

Any idea how much space the AF/Ds take, or how much
additional year of updates cost? Our aviation palm is
a VIIx, and its memory isn't unlimited.

$40 will buy a lot of paper AF/Ds.

Cheers,
Sydney

After looking over the web link I provided to you (as I do not own the
software), I learned that the developers have come up with a conduit
that will transfer all or any portion (states) you specify, solving the
various memory issues of the not-so-well endowed PDAs. Look towards the
bottom of that page for the specifics.

About nine, or about 1.5 years worth, to be a bit more precise. I am
curious what it costs to renew a subscription once one has the base
software, though.

True, but will $40 buy you a year's worth of *all* AF/D's?

The good news about Airport Insight is you can try it before you buy it. As
Peter mentioned, you can choose specific airports, regions, airports within
a given range, individual states (and possibly a few other parameters I
can't remember) to define just how much data to download to your Palm.

I now use the PocketPC version which has the complete US database in a ~5MB
data file.

I think updates are $15/yr.

All I can say is it works well for me. It has come in handy several times
when I diverted or chose to land at a different airport and wanted to get
all the relevant information quickly.
