Palm Pilots

This program costs $60 and is worth every penny. You can download the program (for free) to try for 90 days. After that you need to buy it.

I haven't been screwed by crew scheduling since I've used it becase this program is essentially Crew Trac converted for Palm Pilot usage.

I have a Palm V that I'm not using. I had all my phone # on my phone and I could justify carrying it around. I'm willing to sell it for a good price. If your interested drop me a PM

But would anybody use a Palm or Pocket PC to navigate? I've seen ads in some flying magizines that sell a Pocket PC with a GPS and navigation software. I've often wondered how many pilots use these as their sole navigation equipment..

I would definitely recommend a Compaq Ipaq over a Palm PDA. It has more memory, a faster processor, and a very nice color screen. You should be able to find 3670 model with 64mb of RAM on Ebay for around $200. Go to www.handago.com for software downloads.

Problem is, lack of software. That's why they go cheap on E-Bay.

For those of you who are real geeks. Check out the Palm i705. It handles all of the organizing tasks flawlessly. More importantly, the wireless connection to the Cingular network is great. With a $9.95/month program I get all sorts of aviation related info. Check out www.weatherclip.com
I am not associated with them but think that it is pretty **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** slick! I am even able to connect while flying most of the time.

Software availability for the Pocket PC used to be a problem, but this is no longer the case with its increasing popularity. Check out www.skymarktechnologies.com. They have a very good E6B (the Flight Calc) available for the Pocket PC. Also, Logbook Pro is about to release a PPC companion.

I have written spreadsheet programs for many of the different tasks that I need while flying, such as weight & balance, performance, fuel tracking, next FL, etc.

There is a program for Palm OS called Sheet to Go. It is basically Microsoft Excel for your Palm. It imports and exports between itself and MS Excel. I use it all the time and it is great. Before I saw that program, I was considering an IPaq too because of the ability to use Excel.

That URL doesnt load for some reason.

Let's try that again.....

www.skymarktechnologies.com

If it still doesn't load, you can copy and paste it to a new browser window.

It really depends on what you need it for. I would recommend the Compaq iPAQ, just for the great GPS/moving map software that is available for it. Check out www.controlvision.com to find out more about this. If you just want a place to put fone numbers, addresses, etc. a Palm device is more than adequate.

Are there any log book programs that use the Windows® Pocket PC 2002 OS?? Thinking about getting the Toshiba Pocket PC e310. Has anyone used that one?
