Navgps is an aviation navigation software product for Windows and PocketPC platforms. If you're a pilot, install it on a portable laptop/pocketpc, buy an inexpensive gps receiver and you'll be the source of envy at the local fbo. And given the cost, not to mention the peace on the home-front.

There were three primary goals:

• Simplicity - no extraneous functions.
• Increased situational awareness - HSI on top of a moving map.
• Real-world flying. temporary deviation from flight-plan for IFR holds and intercepts possible.

Other features and those added to navgps2 are:

• World-wide database support. if you wish, you can load one region or any combination simultaneously.
• Airport communication frequencies.
• Airport runway info.
• Vert/Horz Runway guidance.
• Airspace - part of subscribed database only.
• Flight tracking.
• Alarms (e.g. 'Switch Tanks!") and count-down timers (e.g. "Go around!"). gear-down warning.
• Simple navaid/airport database format. if you know how to use notepad, you can create databases for your own region/waypoints.
• Nearest Airport.
• Simulator mode. test the application on ground w/o gps unit.

There are versions for Windows and Microsoft PocketPC handhelds.
