GPS JUNKY

Leardriver asked:


The only thing that I know for sure is that your FMS must be approved for GPS approaches. I thought that you also need some kind of annunciator in the cockpit telling you that the GPS has gone into the more precise approach mode. I fly a Lear 55C with dual UNS 1-Ds.

I have found many automotive GPS systems for laptops, and have found aviation GPS systems for PDAs, but none for laptops so far. I was wondering if such a thing exists….

something I could use in conjunction with Chart Case Electronic Flight Bag, or one of the other EFBs.

I am currently with Cingular/AT&T and I would like to buy a new unlocked phone that has GPS or some type of google maps application. I actually have two questions about this: First, what is a good compatible phone? Second, how exactly does the application work when it is on your cell phone? Do I need a data plan? Or is it just an application that I can use for free? Thanks in advance!

Isn’t the GPS much more efficient and accurate?! Do you think it will replace VOR/DME someday?

I want to buy a GPS system for my husband for his birthday. We are stationed in Germany and will be here for another year before (hopefully) going back to the United States. What would be a good GPS system that we can use here and bring it back to the states with us without too much of a hassle?

Brad Tripp asked:


My cigarette plug in my car is broken. Apparently the fuse is completely gone. However, I’d love to have a GPS in the car, because I’m planning on doing alot of travelling in the U.S.

I’ve tried to do some research on the internet, but nothing has indicated whether or not GPS systems can work in a car without the cigarrete plug.
Do you think it will last 8 hours without charging it?

Are they special batteries? Or like AA batteries?
