Any useful tips??

Thanks in advance

WinPilot has a VFR program. I don't know anything about it, but you
can find it (and a demo) at www.craggyaero.com.

It's $200. Throw in a PDA and gps card and you would still be under
$500. You might do better finding a used aviation gps on ebay.

If inexpensive is your main interest... you can find free soaring
software that will do the things you mentioned and gps card and pda
would be easily under $300. If you can live with soaring software...
Paul Remde's site is very good.
