Douwe: would you mind posting a picture of how you have your iPhone set up directlyin front of you in the cockpit? That is just about the right distance forme to see something like a map screen clearly while in flight, without havingto put on reading glasses. Now if I could just get Siri to understand voicecommands like, "Siri, get the current ATIS for me and then switch me to Medfordtower", we'd be in business ;o) Having to look down to change frequencieson my little Icom always seems to result in me looking up to find myself in adescending left spiral with increasing airspeed. Why can't I just fly the airplaneand forget about the radios??And Steve, I'm very frugal myself, so I'm always at least one or two generationsbehind in electronics and phones. I had a hiker/hunter Magellan GPS 2000 afterthey got superseded by the fancier toys and were available brand-new for cheap.I flew a 3 hour x-c out across eastern Oregon in a Super Cub with nothingbut that little gem (and folded sectionals) after I had punched in a directroute to where I was going, and it was incredible to be able to read out groundspeed,ground track (which helped me determine wind correction angle), elapsedtime, distance to station, and all that- without trying to use the E6B or anythingelse in the cockpit. How easily we get spoiled! Now I have a perfectlygood Garmin GPSMap 196 that can do everything but mix a perfect martini andeverybody is saying it's "so yesterday"??! Having a 196 in the cockpit of anAir Camper is like having a Garmin G1000 dual-display glass panel in a Cessna150! The panel can do so much more than the airplane can, that you might aswell stay home and play with the panel instead of flying an old wood and fabricairplane with that thing in front of you ;o)--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Hi Oscar,I have a different take on the evolution of technology in the cockpit. The dedicatedaviation GPS units are like other avionics that originated in the steamgauge era. They require mental translation into actual and useful guidance. Conversely,apps like ForeFlight and WingX were developed from the moving maps mindset.They are much more like simply holding a chart in your hand and flyingby pilotage. Only instead of you trying to follow a line on the chart that youdrew during preflight prep, the moving map shows you a similar preplanned courseline PLUS a line or ticker or breadcrumb, etc. that represents how you'reactually progressing across the ground. These apps are simply electronic vesionsof your chart, and thus, I argue, are truer to chart-following pilotage thanthe old-thinking, dedicated GPS units.Or something like that...Jeffrey H.
