Default Hello? Any oldtimers around?

Vaughn writes:

My flight bag literally bulges with non-certified gizmos. I still carry
my trusty aviation GPS, but when I find the right GPS app for my pad it
will float to the dusty bottom of the bag along with the old gum
wrappers and FBO receipts.


You are not worried about dependence on uncertified software and hardware?

In-flight weather was just for the big boys a few years ago, but now
it's filtering down to the rest of us. My pad gives me weather up until
the moment I launch, and sporadically updates it in flight via 3G.


Is this the same XM weather that so concerns the NTSB because of its potential
lack of timeliness?

I get superb weather images on it with a $10.00 Android Foreflight
app. (no subscription charge). Now I'm just looking for a decent GPS
app, and I will have a cheap yoke-mountable one-box solution.


Will you be making safety-of-life decisions based on these gadgets?
