I use an IPaq 3700 with Compact Flash GPS and www.pocketfms.com This is a
nice setup because there are no wire with the CF GPS, and you can run
everything on the battery power of the IPaq and expansion pack. I use the
expansion pack with the external battery and get around 4-5 hours of

battery
time.

Pocketfms is also free, and works really nice. Moving map, airspace
warnings, flight planning, 5 closets aiports at the push of a button.

Toks,
I have a pocket PC (ipaq 4150) with PC Flight System nav gps pro and PC
EFIS(www.pcflightsystems.com). I bought them at Sun-N-Fun. I bought this
due the is user friendliness and I spent a fair amount of time talking
to the owner and his wife.

I have had a couple of primary instrument issues and want a backup. I
have used them on the ground but not yet in the airplane. I am still
waiting for the cradle to mount to the yoke. I hope to give it a try
next week.
