I had an Anywhere Map back when they first came out--ran on a little Compaq

handheld.  I really liked the presentation, touch screen, AOPA airport

database etc.  My only complaint was it had to have external power and the

GPS receiver was also external, so there were a few wires which would

sometimes come loose. Otherwise, it worked great, though the processor got

to be a little slow after I loaded up the database with every possible extra

  I'm thinking about getting another one--the latest model (Dell Axim) looks

like a big improvement in processing power and memory.  They still need

external power, but the GPS link is Bluetooth.  They're cheaper than a 396,

too, and you can add WX and IFR charts.  The pocket PC capability is handy,

too, with GPS being only one of its tricks.  I especially liked mine after I

cracked the canopy for a little fresh air somewhere over some godforsaken

middle of nowhere and my paper charts got sucked right out of my

hands--fooop!

I saw a glider guy running a GPS with moving map etc the other day on his

cell phone.  Hmmm.  Screen was a little small...

I use Anywhere Map and am pretty pleased with it. I have mounted it to my panel using the "ball and socket" set up and the only issue I have is that I get some glare from the canopy glass. 



I really do not need the XM WX since I NEVER fly or plan to fly anywhere where I would need that function. 



I use a Dell Axim that the USAF provided and got the software pretty cheap. The BT GPS was bought off eBay for less than $50.00. I have less an $150.00 in the whole thing. It also serves as a nice backup to my GPS/Comm.
