Come up with some good ideas, and maybe I will implement one!

How about porting GlidePlan? Or a nice user friendly sectional chart
viewer?

Unless someone comes up with moving map software that can display
CURRENT sectional chart information, I'll still need to carry paper
charts.

What I do now, is use GlidePlan to print up a 60% 'booklet' of the
charts I plan to fly with. I forget the actual percent shrinkage, but
it's just small enough so one side of the chart fits on a portrait
sized 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I then use 20% page overlap, so I'm
always looking near the middle of a page. The text is pretty small,
but still just barely legible so I can pick up any needed frequencies,
etc.

The viewer program should provide pan and zoom functionality as well
as an automated switch to the next chart as one scrolls off the edge.
It should use the GPS to select the right chart, as well as have a
database of airports & cities, so I could enter such and the proper
chart will be displayed and centered on that location.
