I am a little disappointed it is not wireless. It is perfect for a cockpit
engine parameter display and or running moving map software. Hard drives
don't do well at high altitudes. It will interface to a PICAXE directly
using terminal software built into Linux.

Oops ... forgot to address the wireless point:

You're wrong - it comes WITH wireless and Ethernet networking built in,
and a modem for networking the hard way.

Sorry I missed that.

No need to buy expensive instrument panel dedicated glass cockpits
when you can get this software for a PC and a USB GPS.

Too bad it does not run on Linux yet.


If you fly VFR and you want to go real cheap you can get
Road moving map software with the UPS GPS receiver for less than $200.

I could even run my own moving map software if I wanted to boot DOS :)
