my apologies for trawling this thread up out of the depths again, but i am still investigating the whole world of aviation GPS and have so far been unable to make my mind up!!
anyway, i went down to shoreham on sunday to have a look at the pilot III which i did think was superb - and had to use all my willpower to hold me back from throwing plastic at the man behind the counter!!
the only thing stopping me is the world of the compaq iPAQ/Navman GPS where it would appear that you can upload CAA digi charts (1:500,000 and 1:250,000) and fly against those. this is obviously very appealing and all for a similar price to a pilot III (assuming you own an iPAQ already).
so my question is based on this. what are these like to operate? how user friendly is the software and what are the problems in using such a combination??
cheers,
spils.
