Question Navigation and Whizz Wheels

Advice please....

Like many I have faithfully used my CRP-5, and surprise surprise it still produces fairly accurate results without the need for batteries, a good aerial and satellite coverage etc etc.

Recently I took an interest in other "Manual" computers and was recommended to look at the Jeppesen CR-2. Anybody used one. Pros and Cons?

I've also read about "GNAV Flight Computer Cards". Reading the blurb they seem to be an elegant solution for Nav "on the go", but has anyone any experience of using them?

Finally, I've just read "Fly Like a Bird" by Alex Kimbell. Cracking read if anyone's interested, and he regularly mentions his use of a "Swissair" Flight computer. Is this one of the Jepps, or another precision Swiss device?

Any and all advice or opinions welcome

Thank you
