you're into PDA flight software I will mention that the XCSoar PDA
program is capable of displaying BLIPMAP data (loaded on the ground
from the net) as a background map. *So you could just load it up and
fly to your convergence line! *(but I don't really think things are
quite that easy)

I'm often mistaken for a computer geek :-) And I use SeeYou Mobile.
You would also need the ability to scroll images for different times.
I'm old enough my color contrast is shot, I can barely see the PDA
display in flight and that requires a full white background so even if
this was available I'd probably not be able to/want to use it. A sheet
of paper has an amazingly easy to use user interface and is visible in
full sunlight.

Before the commercials start, yes I know about ClearNav.

Thanks

A paper print? What a concept! ;-D Cool!
