As I'm getting near the end of my 40 hour test period, I've been trying to figure out the best way to get rid of the paper charts and go to a tablet of some kind. I'm not very computer literate when they start in on processors and such and wondered if the brain trust here on VAF may have some opinions on brands, sizes and such.
My primary use will be for sectionals and low altitude charts in the plane and then surfing the internet while not flying. I probably don't need a 3G or 4G device as the costs for the service for this may not be worth it to me.
I've never been a huge Apple fan but if that's the best for the money then I could convert.
I've looked at several apps including FF, Garmin Pilot, and naviator to use. Any other opinions on those would be helpful also, though they about all have a free trial.
I've searched already and read about all the threads but there's not much about the devices, more about the apps. I'm really looking for advice on a device.
