Hi

If anyone knows about WM5 compatible GPS software to use in an airplane, let
me know.

Or if you know a resource somewhere on the Internet where I can find this...

Thanks
Pontus

I happen to like Vito software very much - everything I've bought from
them has been very functional and extremely reasonably priced.

For that reason (as well as the free trial) how about Vito Navigator 2
http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/navigatorii.html

Claimed at the bottom of the page to work on WM5.

I'd expect it to play well with the Pharos GPS360 you get with streets
& trips, so the whole package for location, altitiude, speed etc
shouldn't be more than $150 (less if you get just the GPS, though
having the street mapping adds hardly anything to the price)

Cheers - Neil

And your reasons are ?
Or is this toss-of-a-coin ?

If the writer meant Pharos, I would avoid it like the plague. I found
the maps to be inadequate, sometimes I would be on the road and Pharos
owuld show me way off of it, and if I ever deviated from the Pharos
generated route, it would not recalculate another. It would just keep
recalcualting me back onto the original, no matter how close to my
destination I was.

I switched to TomTom (uses the Pharos hardware, but I have a few issues
there as well) and will never turn back. The maps are way more accurate,
but are missing some semi-new roads. TomTom will quickly recalculate my
route quickly one she se's I've deviated and the TomTom engine has maps
for not only the US & Canada, but Europe as well, so I can use it there
when we go.

Oh, no I was specifically mentioning the Pharos GPS360 hardware, which
comes at a discount with S&T GPS version ! I can't really talk about
the maps provided separately with a full Pharos package, but the OP
never requested mapping , just GPS stuff for PPC in an aeroplane.
