    Suggestions for GPS for PP (Renter) for around $200

    That or my preferred Android aviation app: Avilution Aviation Maps. Not only does it have moving maps (Sectionals, Low and High Enroute IFR, TAC), it also has a VERY nice "flight pad" section for taking ATIS/AWOS notes, clearances, etc. It also has airport information, instrument...
