I am also one of the inexperienced on this list.

I have the Sparcom NAV-48 Celestial Navigation Pac for my HP-48GX. Works
well, and tailor made formulae can be programmed into the HP.

About a year ago, I bought my first Palm and I now find that I use that
almost exclusively. I use CelestNav for nav calculations; Planetarium for
learning the stars, planning sights and getting information on particular
bodies; other programs such as Pilot Navigator for calculating geodesics
(great circles) and loxodromes; and EasyCalc for programming in tailor made
formulae.The Palm will do all of this and much, much more...ship's supplies,
email, etc. A PPC will also do all this, in a different environment, using
different software. (I do not want to get into that sterile argument of PPC
vs Palm!!).

I have no experience with the dedicated Nav calculators such as from
Celesticomp, but to me they seem very expensive, and the world seems to have
passed them by.

Our archives contain a lot of discussion of calculators and software. (Hey,
isn't this another pointer to the need for a FAQ?)
