Palm Software

[CXAV8]

Looking for software for a Palm Pilot. I'm new to PDA's so any help advice tips would help. Thanks

Palm Pilot

Check out the recent issue of AOPA. There are a few different applications for Palms. There seems to be more software and applications available for the Windows based hand-helds(Pocket PC, CE, etc.).

EFB's

Be careful if you are looking for EFB software. We bought EFB pro last year and it turned out to be junk.

There's a ton of good software... go check out www.palmgear.com

just search for aviation...

My pics -

Copilot - a must have... get the database - and use this thing... its great- it plans, it quotes, it works...

and if you have a palm with wireless connectivity...

check out CBAV... I feel this is the most useful thing ever written... you can get quasi real time Wx radar info based on navaids (to establish a position) and it works inflight... I've used it from Lears at 450 and the speed and service is remarkable... and best yet its free... plus the website has some really funny stuff... and the Palm VII works off the pager network - so its coverage is far better then cellphones at altitude... it even works through electrically heated glass windshields as found in falcons and others...

there are a bunch of cool and useful apps out there for the palm... its a great tool.

Second the recommendation for Co-pilot. Does anyone know how to beam aircraft w&b or performance from another Palm?
thanks in advance.

There's some good stuff on http://www.freewarepalm.com/

How do I unzip the copilot program? this obviously shows I've flunked computers 101, but I can't open that dang program.

Also anything new out there to look into. I just got a Palm VII and I'm getting used to all the wireless features

Dawgpilot
hot sync your palm then look in the folder for your desktop under your user name the backup files are there. you can then copy and install them on another Palm.

something similar to this

C:\programs\sony\user name\backups\w&b.pdb

What is the file extension .prc ? the is the palm resource file click on your app installer and add that file hot sync and your installed

hope it helps

Alright, I'm really liking this Palm 7, and I finally unzipped the copilot and its database (it didn't download correctly the first time).

I've been to the palmflying and freewarepalm sites. They've got a bunch of software, so the question still is what is actually on your palm pilot.

In other words I'm trying to eliminate downloading a bunch of junk and just go straight for the gold, like that cheapbastardsoftware (that's a real good one!).

Thanks

I got a bunch of hair on my palm.... don't know how it got there!!

copilot

Fellow newbie. I can't install the copilot program also.
It is a .pgz file. I can't get it toinstall during a hot sync. I have a sony and it will only go on the memory stick. Help!

 

[doubtful]

for those with the palm 7 or i705 check out Weather Clip it is amazing how informed you can be with that program.
also repligo is something i just found and it is great for taking a copy of virtually any document with you on your palm. i use it for trip sheets etc. i think the site is here

i also second hogdriver on the EFB stuff, what a waste of time

cxav8 - did you try deleting all the stuff you downloaded and starting over, sometimes that is just easier. i don't know about the sony desktop interface but with the palm installer you can chose the destination for the files it is about to install, maybe a search with the help function for installation destination would help you, good luck

I would second the vote for Weather Clip. They have lots of good features as well as radar.
