E6B with W&B (free trial and free if you buy their portable copilot)
Pocket FMS (www.pocketfms.com) brilliant free fight planning moving map GPS
etc etc for PC and PDA. I use it exclusively - has W&B with graphs on both
PDA and PC (and did I say it's free). If you pay US$60 you become a donor
get better maps and better bandwidth. It's European (I'm in Australia), but
covers the globe. Great support, active forum monitored almost 24x7 by the
devlopers (yes, you actually talk, well forum, with the guys that write the
software). The W&B is great on the PDA - just select Airplane on the menu -
you can have many aircraft with W&B for each.
Well worth a look - and did I say it's free - I have no other connection
with them other than a happy user.
Got rid of my Garmin GPS III Pilot and replaced it with Pocket FMS - a good
choice. If you own a PDA (I run it on both and ipaq Hx4700 (big screen) and
an imate jam (phone and small screen, but good backup) without problems).
HTH and YMMV...
Cheers,
Kevin
