Title: Network GPS or Moving MAP
Post by: Bob Reed on July 09, 2010, 11:22:39 AM
Ok as I am laying out more good money for add ons I do not want to get crap. So I am looking for a good, networkable GPS or Movingmap systam I can run on my tablet. Since really jumpig back in here I have found a lot of my purchases I have made over the years are just gone.. No one can help me. Word of caution, if you buy online software MAKE sure you have hard copies of all serial numbers and keys. Or kiss your hard earned money good by!

I use PM Quickmap which works very nicely on the network and has real good features....up to gates numbers and taxiways IDs when zoomed on an airport.
Can be interfaced for buttons showing freq, ndbs, vors, waypoints ,Tcas, any waypoint bearing, distance and many many other.
Try the demo.
I put it on the lower DU of the 73 and happy with it

The XP Reality GNS is very complete and sophisticated but not networkable. Has to be on an FS computer second screen. Worth a look.

Thanks again Jack. I have that as well and as of now it is the one I am tying to learn to use. But I thought if I could find a networkable one before I put too much yime into learning it I would switch but I may stick with the it.. It realy is nice.

Pretty sure that, assuming you have decent video on your FS computer, (which U have ) you can undock it on a small TFT screen and interface the buttons (same as stock FS GPS trough FSUIPC)
