Many soaring pilots use the IPaq PDAs with GPS data feed from a GPS data
logger, and Soaring software such as WinPilot that has moving map, airspace,
air ports and computes real time glide ratio, speed to fly, and help solve
the all important, "Can I reach that next landable area from here with this
altitude?" question.

Hi!

I wonder if it's possible to say what PDA would be best for pilots? On
what platform is the most valuable Software available? (Pocket Windows,
Palm?)
For car navigation, there is good software (with bluetooth GPS) - is
there something similar for aviation?
By the way - Pocket Windows exists for several different hardware
brands/cpus. Is there some emulation layer in pocket windows or do you
need each software to be compiled especially for the target system?

regards

Patrick
