J430: It runs a windoze operating system........and you would trust that for flying..........no way!!!!!
Don't ya just hate these so-called smart units?You sit the iQue down next to your iMate Jasjam and when your back's turned it's swapped its factory loaded Palm OS with WindowsMobile.

And then it probably locks up on you requiring a reload of all your files and applications!
I had the very early iPaq, yeah its kind of useful when they work, but really i ended up calling it a "Wanky Toy", coz that was it. I find the "iSpirax" notepad and "iPencil" works better.....the HB leads run out every year maybe but hey, the upgrades are much cheaper!
If it aint Garmin I aint goin'

Yeah I have a portable Garmin 296 mounted into the dash, along with a Dynon EFIS. Apparently according to my jealous mate Squawk7700 I have 3 sets of pics of my panel on tis thread. Maybe I am just pretty chuffed with the result for a VFR panel! Look back a few pages.
The guy that designed it is a genious
Obviously not so easy in someone elses plane or an existing panle but they come with a yoke mount for those who have a yoke obstucting their cockpit!

I have had my 296 for a couple of weeks. What a great bit of gear.
3000 user wpts capacity is also good.
Only yoke mounted at this stage. I plan to rack mount it in the 185 soon.

Folks,
Check out the AVMAP EKP-IV, best daylight readable screen I have seen,(including some large aircraft I can think of, when the sun is over your shoulder) still directly readable with afternoon direct sunlight.
Biggest screen around on a handheld, and the operating system is not unlike an FMS, with line select functions around the periphery.
Not cheap, but competitive with Garmin, with the usual aviation database. Alternative databases for yachting are available, where I think they are known as C-Map.
Tootle pip!!
