Again, I don't know if it would work with your PDA (most likely) but I use WinPilot GPS and I love it. Lots of detail, free updates, etc...
Tey only list HP type PDA's on their site, but I'm running on a Roshiba e355 with not problems. They are pretty helpful in determining if it will work on the PDA and even offered me a refund in the event I could not get it working. I believe there is still a free version that runs in simulator mode that you could try out to see if it works. www.winpilot.com Matt ------------------------------------------------- Matthew Elder Orangeburg, SC http://www.infinigral.com/melder My Airplane Project: http://www.infinigral.com/melder/flying/KR1/ ----- Original Message ---- From: D F Lively <riksh...@interl.net> To: KRnet <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 10:26:57 PM Subject: KR> Re: GPS software Mark: I have a Medion PDA with GPS that uses a Windows CE operating system and came with a road nav pkg. Do you know of an aviation GPS software operating package that will work on it that is supported by windows XP & active sync. Works great for cars.
