Incidently, PocketFMS has a warning system that buzz when an obstacle or high terrain is ahead of your course. The problem is: since it's a shareware (or rather, a "donationware") data available is only ... what they could find. For Norway, I helped by getting and giving them the entire country's set of obstacles from our national authorities. But that changes all the time. A database is only as good as how it is maintained.
Cheers,
Michel

Michel, I have contacted your friend and will wait for him to get back to
me, Thanks for the info. I have decided to go with the iQue 3600a which is
the aviation version of there standard PDA 3600 and is pre-loaded with the
Jeppesen system. It also has the terrain alert system. The specs on this
GPS/PDA are really impressive and for anyone looking at a new GPS, this
looks like a great alternative to the traditional Garmin options. I really
like the versatility of its dual use. When I have a chance to test run it
and become familiar with its functions, I'll post my findings on the list.
Regards
Graeme
