February 2005: Kitplanes article Flying with Fly: GPS Pilot offers a low-cost alternative to advanced hand-held GPS systems by Don Maxell

"[...] The ability to use sectional and other aviation charts as moving maps makes Fly the most elegant of all handheld GPSs-because there's no layer of abstraction between what you see in the GPS and the paper chart.   What you see IS what you see! Ah, but what if you LIKE abstractions? Press a hard button on the Palm and Fly will display your course only, without a map. To either of these displays you can add various additional details--airports, VORs and NDBs, cities, and personal waypoints. It couldn't be simpler--or more elegant. And it costs only $69.95.

January 2004: PalmUser issue 19 by Steve Litchfield

"There are plenty of other Internet-aware Palm OS applications. For

example, IRC (chat) and FTP (file transfer) clients. But my favourite is

TripPilot, an online (and GPS-compatible) route planning system that works anywhere in the world down to street level. The initial ownloading of the map segments is usually what takes the time (only three or four minutes, but time is money when online with a mobile phone), but here you can do it for free and far more quickly.

"Don't buy a handheld mapping or GPS navigation solution for your handheld without consulting our 12-page feature in this issue. We look at the many different alternatives currently available, and take a detailed look at the state-of-the-art for each platform: Magellan GPS Companion and TripPilot for Palm OS, TomTom Navigator and NavMan GPS 3400 Voice for Pocket PC, and the Nokia LAM-1 GPS module
"[...] The purchase of TripPilot gives you instant wireless access to every street and location in North America and Europe, with less than a 200K memory hit... You can't fault the amount of information on offer... The GPS integration is well done, with a very welcome diagnostic screen for working out what your 'black-box' GPS is actually doing... TripPilot shows a lot of maturity in design throughout, with hardware buttons programmed for the different displays and modes...

AV webProduct roundup: PDAs In The Cockpit
by Denny Arar
A product from French developer GPS Pilot lets you use map data — either supplied or from an attached GPS device — to produce the type of information you get from a dedicated GPS unit costing hundreds of dollars more than a Palm. With the $80 Flying Pilot 5.05, you input your waypoints, aircraft and wind info to get maps, distances and estimated time en route. The software supports GPS input, too. Flying Pilot is one of several mapping and GPS products for Palms from this French software developer, so check out their Web site
