I agree with CRX and I have no problem with the Lord Hedges either. From what I've seen he has produced a really good product that has been well received. But Tim Dawson has built up a good product too and more to the point a good and potentially loyal following on here. Look at the numbers and the enthusiasm of the posts!
Over the past couple of years I have felt that some of the GPS flight gizmos are very over priced and I suspect we have been subject to the old "double the money if it involves aviation" tag. Well if anyone has a look at what is being sold on Ebay under GPS equipment, they will see that the hardware is plentiful and very affordable indeed and all this needs is a good software package.
Tim's hard work and dedication, not to mention his willingness to try his hardest to include all the suggestions from fellow aviators is testament to the success that this product already has even though it is still in the test stages. However, I'm sure that like me, many of the other participants here have their cheque books ready for the time when Tim feels that it is ready for general release.
