Specifically they aren't happy with the windows system failing from time to time and needing to be rebooted in flight...and then there is the user friendlyness of the tablet itself.
I'm curious what you guys think about the different systems and if one type of hardware (tablet) works better than another. The last thing I want to do is invest a bunch of money into something that isn't user friendly.
Thanks guys.
Here's the question: will you maintain just the US domestic on paper, or are you facing trying to keep up a world set? If US Dom only, stick with paper.
Toshiba tablet works fairly well. All of the user interfaces are clunky compared to other modern software. Do the bluetooth to GPS interface. Well worth it to avoid the wires. Part 91 is ok, but if you do any 135 you have some certification/ops spec issues to deal with as well.
Good luck,
