This is probably a dumb question but can the V2 GliderGuider run GlideNavII...as Gregg Leslie posted under another similar thread...you can't beat the simplicity of GNII



I'm guessing - NOT. I think most programs will have to be ported to the PNA (not PDA) architecture and hardware environment (serial ports, internal GPS, display, etc).

I expect it would might work for a few reasons, inclding screen resolution, orientation etc., but just a technical point the V2 is a Windows Mobile 6 device and from that viewpoint differs from typical"PNA"s that use Windows CE only. So more of he old PDA software *might* be able to run on it. I've not touched one so don't want to say. In the big picture Windows Mobile 6.x is kind of the end of the road for Windows based traditional PDAs, Microsoft has moved on to Windows Phone (aka Mobile 7.x) which is highly incompatible with past releases. I'm hoping lots of the innovation out there happens on other platforms, i.e. Android and iOS. And as hard as it is for his Apple fanboi my money is on Android.
