Tony Hi!

The NMAE or Garmin Protocol output from 295 can do just about whatever you
want. It can drive PC, MAC or PDA or indeed Display only versions of Skymap
or other  'non engined' GPS.

You choose your platform and you'll then find good Mapping Software
available including Aeronautical mapping. Someone mentioned Memory Map. It's
good.

I have driven all of these from the NMAE and Garmin protocols and also used
my own scanned Charts and initialised them against set Lat/Longs.

The beauty of Memory map, Fugawi, OZI Explorer is that the Maps are already
initialised for immediate and accurate use. So many of the new PDA's have
great daylght/sunlight viewing so cost and capability can be chosen.

A good Australian Company is OziExplorer.
