I have the NavGPS software on my Dell Axim X5. One cord between the Dell
and the GPS, with a fork in the middle for the cig lighter plug that powers them both. Main downside is the screen can get washed out in bright sunlight. Very easy to use, IFR or VFR. Cheap too. $180 for the software and about $80 a year for full IFR airway charts, first year included. You simply tap in your cleared clearance and the software will put it on the map, including all bends at intersections. When the GPS is turned on you simply fly the line. Terrain and obstructions are also part of the cost. I don't find those useful and usually have them turned off. Towns and roads are also displayed if you want. "Toks Desalu" wrote in message news:4menc.7845$iF6.848904@attbi_s02... I was wondering if anyone experience using handheld PC for navigation along with gps receiver and mapping software? If so, are they effective? Toks
