I'm looking to pick up a used handheld aviation GPS to use as a backup.
Maybe some one on the list has just bought the latest and greatest and
would like to sell his/her old GPS?

You could buy an iPhone or an iPad with 3G/4G service and it will serve mult
iple needs.... Like flight planning, moving map GPS, in-flight entertainme
nt, etc....

Tom, new Bendix/King AV8ORs were something like $199 or some such at Airven
ture from Pacific/Gulf Coast Avionics.- Why go used when you can get new
(with warranty) for a similar price.=0A=0ADoug M=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A____________

Doug:
The AV8OR's features are fine, but their battery performance is really poor
(I know, I have one!). A back-up needs to be able run by itself for an
hour or 2.

Actually, I just looked this up. I note that there is a 4000mah battery
available for the AV8OR for $87. Has any one tried it? Does it really give
you an hour or more of operation time?

OK, you talked me into it. It's a lot cheaper than another GPS.

| Subject: | aviation GPS app for android phones |
Maybe everybody already knows this, but I couldn't find a ref. to it in the
archives.
I just discovered a free Android app called Avare, which runs a pretty good
looking aviation GPS program on your Android phone (assuming it has GPS).
I am no longer searching for a backup GPS. I've had one on belt all along.
It has charts, airport info, the works. I'm still learning about it, but I
am really impressed so far.

Hi Tom,
Maybe I'll get disqualified because this is not technically an aviation
GPS.
And I'll probably get laughed off the list! My Garmin Foretrex 101 cost
me $69 new at Aldi a few years ago. I wear it on my wrist and it agrees
exactly with my panel mounted (old!) Garmin 295. No data base but you can
easily put in Lat/Lon and do a goto. Two AAA batteries last 14 hours.
Now for the best part -- it has NMEA data out for your auto-pilot! Serial
data cables are on ebay, or make your own.
They sell on ebay for much less than $69! There's also the Foretrex 201
which is a little better model, and of course newer and more expensive
models of the Foretrex.
I've found this little gadget really handy for finding your car after a
NASCAR race!

It seems like a nice app but is absolutely useless outside of USA & Canada. '
ForeFlight' is no better.
