REFLECTOR: ipad

[Don Johnston]

I had Anywhere map years ago. It was okay but I didn't stick with it. Then
again, this was before touch screens and the stylus approach was not a good
entry tool in turbulence.  I got an iPad right after they came out. Been
running Foreflight ever since.  Looked at the others but still like
Foreflight.

If you didn't get a wireless version and you want a moving map, you'll need
an external GPS. I have the GNS5870 but there are others. The pro version
of Foreflight has georeferenced approach plates. I got the GPS almost for
free so I decided to get the pro version of Foreflight for a year to try
it.  I decided to keep the pro version. You can't have too much situational
awareness, right?  :-)

For weather, I'm still using my 396 with XM. I prefer the resolution of the
radar and the number of products of XM over the ADS weather.
