I'm with the "less is more" brigade. Less gadgets allow you to focus on the basics. Simple maths, simple measurements and angles guessed by eye. For trigonometry use .5, .7 and .9. All of this is good enough for PPL and the majority of commercial flying. When kilos and seconds count in the air, something went wrong hours beforehand.
