PDA for Moving Map
Don't overlook the iPhone and an app called SkyCharts. Maps are
downloaded so they are local and no carrier connection is needed. GPS shows where you are, and clicking on an airport shows it's details. the iPhone is a whole lot more processor than the typical PDA, so loading is fast, and you can zoom/pan, etc. with ease. cockpit readability is good in daylight and at night, and there are a variety of car cradles that could be modified for aircraft use. GPS should work, even in "Airplane" mode. Matt
