Dear all,

I would like to use my older Ipaq 31xx. I suppose B+W screens have
lower power requirements and are readable in the sun.
But, which software gives the best results on B+W screens for airspace
and maps?
Should I convert the maps to B+W with Photoshop?

thanks in advance

GlideNav was designed for monochrome but now has a few features that
use color. It looses no utility on a monochrome screen. It supports
airspace well but does not support maps. I don't need the clutter.

Mobile SeeYou (mCU) has extensive user customization and seems to be
usable on a monochrome screen. It needs a few tweaks to be optimized
for monochrome, see discussions on the mCU forum.

You can run GPS_LOG WinCE. It was originally designed for B&W. As far
as airspace and maps are concerned - what you put in is what you get.
And no, Adobe Photoshop will not help.
