Get a skydemon subscription and use your tablet/smart phone. Its a lovely solution and the company is nimble enough and active in its development to enhance things regularly. Plus importantly it is super reliable.

As an aside what is it with the stopwatch and track crowd? In the UK, unless you fly minimal hours, its small enough to actually look out of the window and actually know where you are. Now whilst there is no excuse to not plan appropriately are some seriously saying that they sit at home, plan, make a pilot log for every local VFR flight that we all might do on summer evenings? Really??

No wonder GA is almost dead. Flying straight lines at 2000ft..... what about if you want to go... over there... no over there... no no lets have a look over there... Come on guys why all this stuffiness when it comes to GPS?
