SkyDemon Mobile MD GPS

[G-F0RC3]

Hi All

I've just completed my cross country solo flight this weekend which I'm delighted about! Everything went smoothly except that the wind was quite rough and there were a few showers kicking around. The reduced visibility after departure (due to some showers) threw me a bit. I even contemplated turning back but noted that the weather was significantly better just 10 miles further ahead so kept going. I always had the surface in sight and was able to dodge between the showers and remain clear of cloud. In any case, I decided to purchase a GPS so that when I'm flying to other locations after qualifying I will always have a better idea of where I am, even if the weather does take a turn for the worse.

So I've just bought a SkyDemon Mobile MD GPS. Having read a lot of information on the various GPS systems on offer, this one impressed me the most for the budget I have. Does anyone have experience of using these and if so do you think I've made the right choice?

I'll respond further to this topic when it actually arrives and let you know how I get on with it.

Thanks for any comments.
