TT.
Don't let feisty folk put you off if you want an AWARE.
I have used the AWARE products since the early days and with the free for life airspace updates to its standard CAA chart display, it's dead easy to use.
May be slower to make screen display changes, but having it dedicated to the plane has saved my idiot bacon at least thrice when the wx didn't improve en-route. Around the many London mainline aerodromes, airspace depiction and plane position is spot on.
Hooke off the a/c power it never runs down (!), but brightness and on it's internal battery are perfectly O.K. In bright Sunlight I simply shield it with the chart to see detail.
If you get one 2nd hand ensure you also have the update facility. Anyway 'AirBox' offer real support, they are friendly, helpful, accommodating, AND in England.
My additional French Chart works well alongside the UK ones too. My current AWARE FastPlan was something over £200 new when I bought it. Planning is allowed and on one's big screen home p.c. too.
Good hunting.
