I'm working on a MS surface/tablet version, not sure I'll have it ready by Sun-n-Fun. Waitiing on the FAA to get digital versions of some of thier files instead of scanned in charts. It's amazing what you have to do, many of the programs give you two views. A scanned in image to look at for the area your in, and a regular GPS view.
The FAA is working on digitalizing the charts so every shape is a polygon, this would make putting a GPS together with actual chart data alot easier. Why they don't already have it this way is beyond me, I can't imagine the BS some of the software companies out there had to do to duplicate or fake it. Anyways, a USB port gives you alot more options, not everything has blue tooth.
