BTW this might attract as a basic 'RTF' item. I'm still waiting to read any feed-back on a couple of forums before committing.

The "Nats" Aware GPS with map screen device has CAA moving maps for £149 & Free updates for ever of restricted areas plus a projected course line to show where you will be shortly. Plus a warning noise and pic if you are going to bust restricted airspace. Apparently it 'knows' your height so as not to over alarm you ! It can't update 'today's' NOTAMs.

You still need the compulsory paper chart, but the uncluttered screen North to top is a good size.

I'm greatly tempted to buy the basic model and plan/plot as usual on paper.
Has anyone out there seen/tried this product yet ?
