Guys

I'm driving along in middle of nothing in Wyoming.  Got to thinking.  My
Goggle Maps Navigation on my Droid phone is way better than my Garmin
GPS on my window. Goggle updates its maps automatically for free and
also more accurate and talks the directions on Droid (wont talk on apple
phone).  You can watch short utubes on each goggle navigation feature.

So why don't one of you figure out a way to use goggle maps inconnectuon
with ipad type device (Droid or apple) and make a navagation system for
airplanes to replace those expensive Garmins.

Snowing now so have to stop email.

As I recall there is a rule against using a cell phone in an airplane.
It works of course. The cell transmissions cut down the gain
on the aircraft radio. I did it years ago when a cell phone weighed
5 pounds and had a separate hand set :)
