Default Any W&B calculators that work in 640x480 on HP4700 PDA?

Peter,

I wish we could get our hands on good, reliable, up-to-date non-US data. We
continually get requests from Canada, Australia, Europe, South Africa etc.
We could use 'pilot-constructed' data, but we'd prefer to have accurate
up-to-date data.

WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on
320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX
even has the option to automatically change between portrait and
landscape -
had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route planning, the
METAR List and other features are perfect for portrait-mode. Approach
charts and weather images work just fine in any resolution.

You raise a good point - perhaps we should add some information and images
about screen sizes/resolutions to the web site.


I did consider WingX but didn't try it because I considered it too
expensive for the simple functions I was after. It does a lot more of
course, but as with most American flight planning applications one is
always a bit concerned about the European data accuracy.
