Wap / PDA Mobile TAF/METARS
 

Does anyone know of a free source of TAF/MEATR to get on your mobile as they all seem to now charge for what was free and available on the web?

www.avbrief.com/wap.wml

You'll need to know the ICAO designator for the airfield that you're after.


HTH,

Edited to add: Just noticed Non-PC Plod's post. DIALMET is definitely NOT free. Calls are charged at either 34p or 49p per minute!

DIALMET - 09063 800 400

PS - just seen the addendum above - didnt realize it cost that much! Just as well I work for a big firm!

I find this pretty alround perfect! but it through 3G which on my network is free....

Avbrief is the one I have been using, but it has not worked for the last week or two. Looking on their web site it is now chargable. "http://www.activitae.com/airbase/phone.htm" provides a cheep service but does not have long tafs and does not seem to update as quickly as the data is from the USA!

Why do you want a long TAF? One of my instructors always said, "Happiness is a two-inch TAF"

Cheers

I have now got avbrief working but on the opera browser on my sony ericsson P910 which I think must be better! I am now back to the full 6inch long taf! It still says it is chargable on thier website!?

All you PDA users out there
 

I have been hounded by some colleagues to update my older flight planning software for the PDA. After lots of :ugh: I have put together a full release shareware version now. If you wish to try it out, then you can find it at www.qservices.biz.
I have uploaded all the older platform models as well, i.e psion 3mx, and 5mx as a few of you have asked about them.
If you have any requests or queries, then you can contact me via the website.
On a more personal note those of you that know me, will know that I was assessed as LTU in 2001 and had to leave BHL. I am now due for major surgery in the next month so you never know, I may be fit enough to get my licence back :uhoh:

Fingers crossed the op goes well!!!!:ok::ok::ok:

Thank you :)

Also, try:

Some good stuff here too, some is free, some you have to pay for.

All the best Q hope all goes well for you, say hello to G from the emerald isle, and best of luck getting that licence back.

Hi all,

I found Pocket FMS quite good and useful.

It's free for 30 days use - best make a backup of your PDA before licence period expires ;-)
Greetings Flying Bull

Best of luck Q.

How's your S-92 Perfomance software? (apologies to JB if he's watching :uhoh:)

Borneo eh, how's tricks out there? Haven't heard from you since Eket I think!

Performance, hmm, I will look in to that are you using the standard charts on the Sikorsky website or different ones?

Yes, a couple of tours in Eket before you went off to start the shafting(ed) process in Trini!:\

No: RFM graphs. When I'm back (in UK on leave) I could e-mail some samples. JB is busy at it too, for BHL.

Ok thanks, I will take a look when you get back then.

qm
will it work on nokia n 95 phones

I doubt it lartsa, as that phone uses Symbian OS 9.2, S60 rel. 3.1 as an operating system, as opposed to Windows mobile.

I am looking into a phone version of it, but again it would be windows based.
