I fly with WinPilot Adv. on my PDA. It provides a color topo map that
you can turn on or off, but I mostly leave it off, as it clutters the screen, slows down the PDA, and doesn't add much value. Wouldn't it be great if you could load today's weather from Dr. Jack in place of the topo map? Waypoints, final glide, etc would work as normal, but at the push of a button, you could see where you were relative to convergence at 3:00PM, or winds aloft, or BL Top. I imagine the situation with SeeYou is similar. I think the Topo maps are vector based, and I know Dr. Jack's software provides a matrix of data points that could be converted to vector format. Then it would be just a matter of x-fering it to the PDA before the flight. If you wanted the real terrain map, it's not too much trouble to switch back in flight. Perhaps the map maker could even be web based. Anyone with the right talents interested? Matt |
