Aero 1550 and XCSoar

What works even better than the Simulator mode is to use the Flight
Version and the Replay feature. Put an IGC file from one of your
previous flights on the PDA and replay it. This may work on the
Simulator as well, but I don't think I have tried it.

Think you'd be much happier with an ipaq 3900 series device. Zippy
processor and good, cockpit readable color display. You can get these
on ebay inexpensively. You would need a different cradle though.

Actually, I think the iPAQ hx4700 series has the best display; with
the "PNA" devices (HP 340 and similar units) just about tied - but
with a slightly trickier setup if you need to connect to any external
devices (since the PNA devices have no wired connectors).

Nice thing is that you can get hx4700 or hx4705 units on eBay for
about $120, whereas the PNA units are around $200 - $250.
