Didn't someone develop an "eye piece", worn over one eye and linked to
the visual output of a PDA? The article, (long since lost in the bowels
of this computer), portrayed a view of the countryside as seen by the
pilot and, overlaid on this, was the GPS data and output from an
electrical Artificial Horizon. If anyone remembers this, could they post
the link?

Greetings!

Summer has begun down under, and my first flight with an iPaq reminded
me just how bad the reflections are in bright light . . . sooo hard to
read, especially when wearing sunglasses.

Were there any solutions that worked well for you Northerners this
season??

I have noted a film from Brando at:

(not much reference to stopping reflections though)

.. . and ClearTouch as sold by Richard at CraggyAero:

http://www.boxwave.com/products/clea...t3_ipaq_39.htm

Perhaps Paul Remde, and others have solutions too?

Anything found to work REALLY well??

Any comments??

Thanks.

Best regards,

Jim Kelly
