FlightMaster Aviation GPS Palm PalmOS PDA Devices

Introduction to PalmOS PDAs

FlightMaster runs on PDAs which use the PalmOS Operating System (it does not run on Windows Mobile PDAs). There currently three models to choose from.

Palm Treo Phones

The Treo 680 (see right) is a really good choice if you're looking for a smart phone device. It combines a mobile phone function with the power of a PDA for a great experience. It is important that you utilize the Palm version because FlightMaster currently only runs on Palm.

One of the really nice things about the Treo is the screen - it's better than some of the other Palms because it's brighter and easier to read in daylight conditions. The keyboard is very useful in flight too, as FlightMaster's map page lets you enter a waypoint identifier to select it.

You might want to read this review of Treo 680.

Introduction to GPS receivers

A GPS receiver is what allows you to determine your position using FlightMaster. The market is literally full of so many different makes of GPS receivers. Virtually any of these will work with FlightMaster, so it's not difficult to choose one.

The important consideration is NMEA-0183 compliance - as we said, virtually every GPS receiver on the market today supports this standard.

Bluetooth GPS Receivers

We recommend you get a Bluetooth receiver (e.g. a Holux M-1000, pictured right). It is about the best value we have been able to locate.

There are other options available. I have had very good luck with the both Garmin bluetooth GPS devices that are available. The Garmin BT 10 while more expensive than the Mobile 10 is a very rugged unit. They are a bit more expensive but come with the trust and reputation that garmin has earned over the years.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology which allows you to connect your PDA to other devices (all the PDAs mentioned on the previous page are equipped with Bluetooth).
