Review
Pros: The most complete electronic airport directory (guide), built-in weather, powerful METAR decoder, personal weather stations, currency tracker, updated every 56 days.
Cons: eFAD2Go keypad can be hard to use while flying.
Platform: None -- Win32/Mac, Palm OS, Pocket PC, Symbian have same features.
Notes: ** Reviewed on Dell Axim X30 **, free 30 day trial, eFAD2Go (included in subscription price) provides stand-alone airport information for use when you are not connected to the internet (see screenshot above).
