I've made my iPhone 3GS a back up device and have the following Apps loaded .. Some are free, others quite cheap really. I loaded and use Memory Map with CAA Maps. The App is free and the CAA Southern Map was =A39.99. Memory Map supports all CAA 1:500,000 and 1: 250,000 Maps as well as French Aviation Maps. Aeroweather (Free and Full versions are available) NOTAMS Wind Meter Altimeter Horizon Airspeed iHeading A 12V Socket is needed as these Apps tend to drain iPhone battery. All in all it's a great device and these Apps are well worth loading.

I may not be the best person to advise as I have only had my Iphone for a couple of weeks but I do like it a lot already. I previously had a Nokia touchscreen phone and I consider the Iphone 4 to be much better. I have followed Gerry's idea and loaded most of the Apps he recommended. So far I can't fault it apart from it being somewhat expensive to buy. I did see that the HTC Desire had very good reports also and that runs the Android operating system which means you are not tied to Apple. Only drawback I saw to that phone was that the battery life was not great. All the Best. Richard Iddon.

Hallett III" Subject: Re: Europa-List: phones for flying I too recommend the iPad, however, I run ForeFlight on my iPhone as well and with the GPS it works wonderfully. Very nice in a small cockpit. BTW, if you have an iPad without 3G and GPS be sure and take a look at Bad-elf.com. They have a chip which adds GPS to the iPad.
