It's free. It's well supported. It has more features than I'll ever
use.
Pick up a used PDA on ebay (under $50.00) and a GPS source, and you're
ready for the OLC. If you're going to do any badge flying, bite the
bullet and buy a Certified Flight Recorder (CFR). There are lots of
good units out there, but they're not cheap. Expect to pay $700 -
$950.
