No it's not.
It's fully, all the way up to, and past the point of, fantastic.

I agree! Now if I just had enough memory to load all the stuff from
Paul Tomblin's waypoint generator....

Not the PDA, not my brain, either.

So, have you tried the new way of specifying fixes by what chart they
appear on? It really cuts down on all those badly categorized fixes that
only appear on approaches and the like. I found a large reduction in
database size by restricting to ones that only appear on Low Altitude
En-route charts.

In fact, it's surprising that any sort of hardware works. When it works, it
is just biding its time waiting for a more inconvenient time for it to fail.

Paul, that's a great feature.

Even with it, though, the database I generate (US + Ontario) adds up to
almost 25000 waypoints. That's because I don't include approach fixes
or private airports (by simply un-checking the check box that would
include them!). It takes a while to download to the PDA, but it's
schweet.
