by Denny Arar
A product from French developer GPS Pilot lets you use map data
— either supplied or from an attached GPS device —
to produce the type of information you get from a dedicated GPS
unit costing hundreds of dollars more than a Palm. With the $39.95
Flying Pilot 5.1, you input your waypoints, aircraft and wind
info to get maps, distances and estimated time en route. The software
supports GPS input, too.

from San Jose to King City and back again."
