Of course, there are the CF GPS types (flash card) that
circument all of these problems for about $200 and work
with all the WinCE PDAs.

My Casio is fine in a car but rather dim in an open
cockpit biplane.

HAL--

I ended up going to CompUSA and buying a Pharos Streetnav system for $199. I did this because the CF card type GPS will rarely work unless handheld outdoors. So you need a puck type gps on your dash out under clear glass Secondly these maps suck up gobs of memory so you need your CF card slot open for that. The Pharos software is fine for around town, they do not have an aviation package. If I used their software to get to sun-n-fun it would have taken up 120 meg of the 128 meg cf card. Instead I installed the Teletype software and selected a 10 mile wide strip of map deatail from St. Louis to Lakeland, then a wide area of detail maps including Lakeland, Orlando, Tampa, and Cape Canaveral.. this all was 59meg or so. In all the software and hardware worked fine.
One thing.. road turbulence made it very difficult to operate tiny buttons and menus.. my guess is you would have a hard time in a plane with these PDA's at times.
