No PDA at all. They really are not all that helpful. They encourage you to
keep your eyes in the cockpit.

Of course. Check out http://www.anywheremap.com/

As in everything, it depends. But most vendors will tell you which machines
their software runs on. The thing you are most interested in is an extremely
bright screen, so you can use it in full sunlight in the cockpit.
