Re: Homebrew EFB from Tablet PC

Have you checked into Destination Direct? Runs in Wintel, has
the ability to support most GPS in real-time, has the capability
to display current charts, and supports flight-planning both
VFR and IFR.

Thanks for the link. I cannot believe I missed them at OSH!!! It just goes
to show how big OSH really is...

I will have to check this out. About the only thing they are missing are
approach plates.

electronic version of tripp kits.

I pay about $250 for the western states.

It's not the G's as much as the turbulence... :)
