Take a look at the AnywhereMap system from Control Vision. I just
checked mine for RAL and it popped right up. I wouldn't focus too much
on using a PDA for approaches, however. They're not legal for approach
guidance, and you'll never be able to use it for a checkride. I rely
on mine primarily for weather (XM download) and backup in case of
electrical failure. I think you can get reconditioned Garmin IFR
approach certified panel GPS units for similar prices. IFR in real IMC
is serious stuff, and if you can't fly a hold without seeing a moving
map, forget it.
Not legal for approach guidance?
Of course they are.
