I finally got my hands on Samsung Q1 today. It's certainly unique.
Although I could turn it on and use the built in software, I couldn't
get on the internet to look at a chart or approach plate. I'll try to
go back to the computer store with some approach plate pdf's on a usb
drive and see how it looks. The screen size looks like it would work
for approach plates without having to zoom in and out.

Yes, I have been using an iPAQ for several years. I have
installed the Anywhere Map software, Pocket FMS, and the
OziExplorer program with scans of the local TACs.

It was cumbersome to use until I obtained a Bluetooth sleeve
for my older iPAQ (3760) and a small Bluetooth GPS receiver
to place on the glareshield. No more loss of signal. I did
purchase a direct Lighter Plug (USB) to iPAQ power cord from eBay
and got rid of the cumbersome power adapter from Anywhere Map.


Bob,

How easy is it to view charts, such as TACs, on the ipaq? Have you
used it for approach plates?

The bigest problem remains visibility under bright sunlight
conditions, I would not want it mounted permanently due to
this issue.
