Subject: Re: What Navigation App Are You Using These Days?

What is ILKKA? I honestly don't know what apps the students may have purchased 
but get the strong feeling they may not have paid for anything. I want to start 
them all from an equal footing and give them the resources to invest in other 
tools as they see fit.

I appreciate the suggestions so far and look forward to others!

Thanks guys,

Joe
