I have a Control Vision Anywhere Map Duo aviation GPS tablet PC currently on sale at eBay until 12/1/2010 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=300497092081). The unit has been gently used, and is for sale because I'm now flying a plane with a built-in GPS. This is a great aviation GPS, and the tablet PC is icing on the cake!
It comes with the following:
The hardware consists of a fully functional, 7" touch-screen tablet PC running Windows 7 Home Premium, with an internal GPS . The screen has a Screen Armor protective cover on it to protect it from scratches & reduce glare. Specs on the tablet PC:
You'll need to purchase the map subscription ($115/year, or $395 lifetime) to obtain current maps because the existing maps will expire in December (but can still be used until a subscription is purchased). Much more economical than the Garmin GPS products that can cost over $800/year for comparable information.
