Hi Eric,
I guess I can throw my two cent responce in as that's about what it is
worth. I have done similar research looking at PDA's , GPS's, package deals, etc.
This was about a year ago so I'm sure things have changed a bit, but at the
time the Compaq Ipaq had the most going for it. I have used Palm PDA's for
some time due to business applications used, but I was a bit miffed that Palm
(or third party vendors) didn't keep up to speed with the aviation applications
like I was seeing on the PC based units.
A question might be asked here...Why would you be interested in getting a
PDA, The GPS that attaches to it, the software that works between the two and
deal with the wires that will go between when there are so many aviation GPS
units that are both portable and capable? Just curious,

Hi folks,
I am getting ready to buy a PDA with intent of using it as a nav GPS.
Searching the internet for aviation GPS software for a PDA left me confused and
frustrated. Is anyone out there using a PDA for navigation?
If so,which software and how would you rate it.
Thanks in advance for any info.
Eric
If you want weather, and I do, the 396 is 2,500 bucks. The Anywhere Map is
around 800 bucks cheaper with WX. That's a lot.
The Anywhere map has a bit nice screen and a bit smaller.
I have a Garmin IQUE 3600 with a touch screen, I really like it, the Garmin
396 doesn't, the Anywhere does...
The cones of safety seems really cool that Anywhere has...
And I can take the PDA home and use it as a PDA, like I do all the time with
the Garmin IQue 3600
Anywhere has Bluetooth for WX, I dont think the 396 does, and that's a
really nice feature.
I think they are both great units.
If my pocket book was unlimited I would have a 396 and a new PDA...........
