Default Any W&B calculators that work in 640x480 on HP4700 PDA?

Peter,

WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on
320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX
even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape -
had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route planning, the
METAR List and other features are perfect for portrait-mode. Approach
charts and weather images work just fine in any resolution.

You raise a good point - perhaps we should add some information and images
about screen sizes/resolutions to the web site.

Hope this helps,

Hilton

I am after a simple W&B calculator for a PDA, with a few E6B
calculations (density altitude, say) but nothing else.

I am looking at various candidates that appear to offer a graphical
W&B envelope display:

Aeroplanner
Airplan
Flightcalc
Load Balance
NavigaCE
Niborex
PocketFMS
SA Flightcalc
Teletype GPS
WingX

I recall trying Flightcalc a while ago and it was clearly hard-coded
for 320x240...

Obviously I have written to these firms but one rarely gets a
meaningful reply. I am just trying to avoid spending a whole day
downloading and installing free trial versions

Thank you for any feedback...

Peter.

Peter,

I wish we could get our hands on good, reliable, up-to-date non-US data. We
continually get requests from Canada, Australia, Europe, South Africa etc.
We could use 'pilot-constructed' data, but we'd prefer to have accurate
up-to-date data.

I did consider WingX but didn't try it because I considered it too
expensive for the simple functions I was after. It does a lot more of
course, but as with most American flight planning applications one is
always a bit concerned about the European data accuracy.
