> take a poll on what tablet or PC device do you use for Wx Worx

while WxWorx is very cool, most EFB are used for approach plates...

I prefer paper maps, and print the plates I'll need for a flight.. plus
the CFS offers vertical guidance, so one "doesn't need plates" to find
DH and MDA (only product that does)

for backup I've tried http://www.pocketplates.com/ but the screen
is too small, so I've been using a dos image viewer http://rob.com/dos/lxpic.com
to display http://rob.com/airports/ on the CFS (not for the faint of hart)

but sportys introduced http://www.sportys.com/chartviewer/

"Beginning with the April 15, 2004, chart cycle, Sporty’s Pilot Shop will
offer FAA Terminal Procedures Publications digitally on one DVD. Contains
all Instrument Approach Procedures for the United States, Alaska, Hawaii &
Pacific, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Includes approaches, take-off
minimums, arrival & departure procedures, and airport diagrams. "

3Gig of pdf files!!... (know any dos pdf viewers? :-) one could likely
get the data from http://www.naco.faa.gov/ but for $10/cycle or $120/year
that includes a browser program, that's a great deal! NOS's data is finally
vector based, so it look as good as Jep's without the color..

sportys also offers http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/tablet_pc.asp
with an optional "The bright, 12.1-inch XGA indoor-outdoor display
uses a proprietary optical enhancement process based on technology
initially developed for high-end military aviation and marine applications."
whatever that is... calling 866-682-2538 revels that "view anywhere"
is a transmissive LCD with some propriety "coatings" that make it
viewable in direct sunlight... at only 240 nits, I'm not so sure...
