Anywhere WX users - free tool for easier e-mail, waypoint entry, etc...
Please excuse this shameless plug...
For Anywhere WX users (well actually, anyone using a PocketPC while airborne), I've created a custom Soft Input Panel (SIP) which lets you enter commonly used text fragments with a single tap. There are also some more advanced features in the works, like the ability to paste in current GPS position. You can get the source and pre-compiled binaries at: http://open-efb.sourceforge.net I decided to write this tool after trying to use Anywhere's Airmail application while bumping along at 3000 feet. Needless to say, tapping out an e-mail one character at a time wasn't very easy. Since the e-mail I write in the air is usually repetitive (e.g. addresses, "I'm landing in 10 minutes", "I'm 20 miles away", etc), all I really needed was a set of buttons which would type in the appropriate canned phrase. This simple hack provides that capability. blue skies, mark |
