$2,500 for a handheld GPS is a lot, though. Their are PDA solutions
that already do most of this stuff, albeit with a lot more wires around
the cockpit. As a renter, I think the compactness of this solution is
attractive. Heck, if they added an AI feature with an electronic gyro
that was built into the cigarette lighter plug (and thereby strapped
down apon being plugged in) (or something simple like that) I think I'd
buy it for $1k more.

I don't believe I'd be interested in a portable solution unless it could
serve as a backup to the vacuum instruments. That's available from several
other vendors, so - absent that "AI feature" you've mentioned - this is
just not an option for me.
