| Well in aviation the toys for pilots are getting a lot | | | | into restricted areas; .These companies are also |
| better, for instance the GPS-PDAs with sectional | | | | careful whom they send these devises to, for obvious |
| charts on them. Also lots of other data like the J-Aide | | | | reasons. Just think you could be flying your own |
| and Jeppeson airport contacts once you arrive. All this | | | | private plane with a little PDA devise and go have a |
| makes flying easier, less complicated and more | | | | blast with your newfound freedom. Another cool |
| enjoyable. AvMap EKP-III C even more cool are the | | | | devise and one of my favorites is the Pocket test |
| ones with all the bells and whistles; Such as loading it | | | | which you can look up on Google. This is a cool devise |
| with an International Data Base. Hell now the CIA can | | | | to help you from getting lost and it has just about too |
| have all the civilian data along with their intelligence | | | | many features to list, too bad it was not Windows CE |
| information. Of course this newest Industry finds itself | | | | based, I just cannot trust the longevity of Palm in the |
| with many new players as pilots are generally not | | | | market place and hope our military is not so stupid to |
| having a problem affording new toys and it saves all | | | | buy into there hype for military versions. One thing |
| those large flight bags and Knee Boards and clips. You | | | | going for it is its size. Very small.We did like the |
| can still buy the clipboards and I have one when I drive | | | | MapTech unit also because we can use it on a laptop, |
| the Blitz Mobile mobile command center across the | | | | Handheld GPS unit of PDA GPS unit, with terrain CAD |
| country hunting for the latest technologies it has maps | | | | capabilities. This unit has many other purposes for |
| and important numbers to do business from the | | | | General Civil Engineering, Forestry, Mobile Car Washing |
| highway. Many truck drivers and railroad conductors | | | | scheduling and routing, Aviation, Hiking, Fishing, Diving, |
| use such boards and in the NAVY Pilots use them and | | | | Trucking, you name it. It also has features from NOAA |
| even probably torpedo bombers did too; remember | | | | for weather; I would recommend this as the best |
| George Bush Senior flew a torpedo bomber?Back to | | | | all-purpose unit I have thus yet found. It also works with |
| our GPS Toys and PDA devices; Another one of the | | | | ESRI software. So we like this for its versatility across |
| more unique ones is the EnFlight Text Weather Devise | | | | industries. Good for us too with the blitz mobile to take |
| which you can google to get all the specs, definitely | | | | the route with the least amount of hills for fuel |
| worth a look see. All of these devises also allow for | | | | consumption conservation and wear and tear on a |
| National Security so no more private pilots in C-182s fly | | | | 300,000-mile truck. |
