I'm converting to a microlight with no radio nav and I'm trying to evaluate options for portable GPS software for my forthcoming XDA or similar Windows Mobile 6 phone. I would like to be able to plan on a PC, use moving maps for UK and the continent (if possible) and view my flights on google earth.
Can anyone share some experience and pros/cons of Memory Map, PocketFMS, Flymap and any others that I should consider?
Is it possible to turn off the "phones" part of these devises while still running the GPS? Do these small integrated GPSs work OK inside a plane without an external transceiver? Thanks for your help!
While we are at it, what are the options for flight planning software?
