  • AvWeb review [January 2003] Product 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 $39.95 Flying Pilot 5.1, you input your waypoints, aircraft and wind info to get maps, distances and estimated time en route. The software supports GPS input, too.
