It's been around since at least 2005 on various platforms and with ever-increasing capabilities.? It runs on full Windows, not CE or Mobile.? Until recently there haven't been any decent Windows tablets around so the company (AviationSafety - also called True Flight and Flight Cheetah) put together some proprietary Windows boxes with several different displays over the years.? It was always too bulky and too expensive for me, but I did admire the capabilities.? Finally there are some 8-inch Windows Tablets around.? True Flight is featuring the DELL Venue 8 Pro that came out in early 2013.? The Lenovo Mix 2 is another contender - the software will run on any of them.? The trick is to find something bright enough to see in a canopied cockpit.? The DELL DV8 Pro has been upgraded a couple times since it first came out but nits are still 400, same as the iPad.? And I can't see a damn thing on the iPad unless it's in the shade, so as with my little Anywheremap navigator I've been using for ten years I'll put a shade on it or figure something else out.? I haven't gotten to the "mounting" part of things quite yet - just doing a lot of thinking about it.? Flight Cheetah is a lot cheaper these days.? The entire package, software, plates, Sectionals, Vector graphics, Landsat, etc. can be had for $195.? It's hardly ever discussed on the various forums since the iPad has eaten everyones' lunch but those who have it have been using it for years and wouldn't give it up if you paid them to.? The developer keeps the data current and is always adding new tweaks and features. It's mature.? And neat as hell.? Rather than go on and on about the great features of this software I'll just post the link and those interested can get as deeply into it as they feel like.? There's a series of "Instructional Videos" on the site, using hardware that the company no longer uses but software logic and features are generally the same.? The MAIN thing I am impressed with is, without using AHRS (although you can attach one, along with ADS-B), the software provides synthetic vision and HITS and will guide you through boxes all the way to the runway threshold, using just GPS.? This feature is called an "approach overlay". You do have the actual charts but this program will guide you all the way through an approach visually, without having to actually look at the chart except to establish your MAP or MDA and brief yourself.? Once you pick your IAP you never need to look at anything else.? Something else I like is it has a complete set of Landsat images that shows you what's below those clouds or at night.? Your're basically positioned directly above Google Earth.? If not within range of a runway, this will at least allow one to pick a flat spot instead of a mountain to touch down in case of engine failure.? There's a lot to rave about when it comes to the features of this software but I'll shut up about it and just post the link below.? ?
