Just made my first x-cntry using my new Anywheremap Duo.
This thing is fantastic!!. First it does suffer a bit in direct sunlight. Not enough to make it unusable, just enough to have to fiddle a bit to find the best viewing angle.
I have the Ultra Taws option to get Low Alt enroute charts and Pocket Plates. The unit flows faultlessly from enroutes to approach plates to airport diagrams or even sectionals. The ability to tap on any airport symbol and get all of the airport info - crs and distance to it, freqs, approaches, notes, FBO info, etc etc etc. is fantastic.
There is tons of info on this thing, very easy to access.
And the geo-referenced charts, approaches and even airport diagrams for taxiing is truly a situational awareness bonanza. The geo-referenced approaches improve single pilot IFR confidence by several orders of magnitude.
The flight planning takes a bit to get used to, but the rubber band feature makes it pretty simple.
I was completely comfortable relying on the Duo for enroutes, approaches, departures etc. (looks like I am becoming a "north-up" guy). The zoom works flawlessly as does the ability to pan into your route - with a single screen tap to return to your position. I flew with a set of World Areas Charts for back -up. Six cover all of Eastern US and they are good for one year while the duo updates every 28 days (or every 4 hours for TAF's etc.)
The standalone back up GPS is nice. Highly recommended for IFR flying. Useful features just keep popping out! It just works!!!
