KRNetHeads,
It's been kinda quiet lately, and some of you guys are into this kind of stuff,
so I'll go ahead and ask. I'm getting ready to buy some kind of large screen
GPS display, and I'm thinking seriously about the Navearo TPad 800 (see
http://www.navaero.com/t_pad/specs_touch.asp ). It's
When moving map technology first hit the market, the
only way you could get it was with an external GPS and
a laptop. I had one. I will say this: Carrying that
laptop gets old. With all the new cheap technology,
may I suggest looking at something in the
civilian/boating market that is less expens
I have been looking at these. They will operate on any windows PC and most
PDAs, and probably a lot of other hardware.

I wanted to give you the site for Control Vision Anywhere Map,

Another great use of the laptop inflight is to obtain real time radar images
of the weather ahead of you, via your cell phone. I have a friend who flys
a lot of cross country. He connects his laptop to his cell phone and dials
up one of the many weather services to access the weather radar images

Let me clarify my position here so you can understand
where I am comming from. I live and do most of my
flying in Florida. It's flat. 99% of the time, I use
no electronic navigationI use a chart. To me, it's
simple, fun, and enjoyable. As with any pilot I know,
I always know where I am at, whi
I believe Control Vision Anywhere Flight Planner Software now supports a GPS
on the PC.. I have used their PDA version and it works great.. makes a great
backup as well.
If you have to haul the PC with you in your luggage, you might as well turn
it on and put it to use!!!

really like the software.

KRNetHeads,

The problem with the MDT's in the police cars are they are extremely
heavy for our application. Many times they are not real reliable
either(speaking from experience). As far as the chart thing, it is good
to have but...after flying the KR across country twice, maps can be a
hassle in the cockpit.

Hi Mark and all.
DISCLAIMER: I work for FlightPrep.Com. We created the ChartCase program Dan
Michaels referenced. Dan, thanks for the plug!
I am thrilled to see this discussion on the KRNet List! I am glad to see
you are considering in-flight charts and mapping to assist using the XC

I was kinda thinking that they were heavy.
Butbutbutwith Mark's engineering mind, I
was just kinda trying to give him an idea to work on.
Because ultimately, something you design and build
yourself is far more satisfying to use.
GPS is definately an advantage on CC's
I just like
Try Mountain Scope. I think that it is the best system available, if you
use the lap top in flight. (I especially like the terrain avoidance
feature.) Personally, I carry a laptop GPS with me everywhere and use the
Delorme Streetmap software on the ground. It has got me to destinations
