If your tablet supports 1024x768 resolution then Jeppview 3.0 is
actually pretty good IMO. It gives you everything from approach plates
to enroute charts. And since pretty much all their stuff is
geo-referenced it will overlay your position on all the charts and
pretty much every approach plate(given a GPS input). Great for
situational awareness.

Where/how are you positioning and viewing your tablet during flight? I
have a tablet and am finding my biggest problem is using it under
actual IFR- no really good place to position it in the 182.

I use a tablet PC for XM Weather in flight, and figured I should add
approach plates... What vendors are available? Seattle Avionics
appears to have a good deal (~$100) with endless free plate updates.
So, I am looking for feedback on Seattle Avionics SmartPlates. Also,
looking for generic feedback regarding the use of PC/PDA based
approach plates in lieu of paper.

Thanks,
