Can the Trio read the signal from a hand held iPaq and Anywhere Map?

Kim, the last I heard on this matter was....no. It seems AWM doesn't
send the data in a format that EZ-Pilot needs in order to clear the
tight filters that are part of the Trio software.
I know Trio was working with a customer that had AWM so I suggest a call
to Trio to make sure some recent developments haven't proved me wrong.

Update:
I have just been informed from a *very* good source (its amazing how
many vendors monitor these forums!) that at least some of the versions
of AnywhereMap software do indeed output a data stream that works nicely
with the EZ-Pilot.
However.....the problem lies with the new PDA platforms that don't
provide a serial port. Many of the newest PDAs only provide Bluetooth
connectivity and there is considerable concern as to whether or not
Bluetooth is reliable enough to be driving an autopilot, and Trio
doesn't support Bluetooth connectivity.
So, if you have an older PDA that has a RS232 data port, AWM may indeed
drive an autopilot. When I was actively using AWM in their earlier days,
it would sorta drive my old Navaid, but left me high and dry when I
upgraded to the EZ-Pilot. Apparently some of the newer versions of the
software play nice with the EZ-Pilot.
As usual, the best course to take is to call the vendors and get the
scoop directly from them.
