Mike I thank you for your help. I went off flying this afternoon to cool off a bit after get flustered about the program. While I was at the hanger, my avionics guy came to my help. It turns out that my GPS receivers are Honeywell pure digital UBS interfaced. He gave me this little 648Kb program that emulates serial ports, which are analog. No the program works just great. Used it over three hours while flying and it is pretty accurate with just the GPS. I bought a eGyro from my avionics guy for great attitude accuracy.   Again I'm sorry about being gruff as I was really getting mad at the program that ONLY takes analog input in a world of digital.   Can anyone tell me how the maps are. I live in Western Canada where often they are very poorly done. I'm not expecting much with the free demo version, as it was limited in my flight this afternoon.   I'm certainly going to buy 8 programs for each of my computers on each seat in the passenger cabin of my King Air F90. This program seams way better the the super high priced offerings from Honeywell or Garmin for in-flight information.   Has anyone used the engine and environmental pod add-ons yet?   Thanks again,                        Ceri --- On Sun, 4/5/09, Mike Dwyer <mdwyer@tampabay.rr.com> wrote: From: Mike Dwyer <mdwyer@tampabay.rr.com> Subject: Re: [APIC_Group] USB GPS Devices To: APIC_Group@yahoogroups.com Received: Sunday, April 5, 2009, 12:17 PM Hi Ceri, I use a Fujitsu Tablet PC with XP and a microsoft USB GPS.
