I have a garmin 430 in my airplane and I still carry my old garmin 196.
I do want to get weather so I've been thinking about the
flightcheetah 190 or a software based system that I could run on a
palmtop like the Samsung Q1. I like the idea of using the Samsung
because I could also use it for work. Here's some links
approach systems - software only -http://www.approach-systems.com/apic.asp
True Systems - both hardware and software solutionshttp://www.aviationsafety.com/fl_190.htm
Flightprep - software only but apparently they'll package it with
hardware if you wanthttp://www.flightprep.com/rootpage.php?page=HomeEFBSW

Has anyone used the software from Approach Systems? I had not run
across this before Dave mentioned it, but it looks pretty good and has
an option for free 30-day trial. I was particularly intrigued by the
attitude indicator page and wonder how well that works. With a Pocket
PC, the Approach Systems software would seem to be similar in many
respects (but cheaper) to the Anywhere Map software.
