Ideas/tips please: Etrex Legend (with or without Palm M515/IIIxe) for VFR aviation

Hello Everybody,

Thanks for everyone for the suggestions to my earlier questions. I have
decided and bought an Etrex Legend, after all. I also have MapSource's
Canada Metroguide with it.

Now I ask for ideas and/or tips on how to set up and use this unit (either
together with an M515 or an older IIIxe Palm handheld, or as a standalone
unit) for general aviation (I'm still a - very interested - student, by the
way...).
I will be grateful to get inputs about what desktop program to use for what
purpose(s), how to set up the units, what to load, what to delete, etc.

Thank you in advance for all responses. I will watch the newsgroups, but
here is my email address as well (without the obvious...):
