I have used pocket stars....I find it excellent for sight reduction and
the starfinder/skymap feature is nice also. Price is great (low) and
the ability to download and play with a demo version is a tremendous
selling feature. Note there are multiple versions of the almanac
available to download depending on digital memory available. You need
to have a Windows CE pocket PC for it to work but if that cost is
already sunk (you own one) this is the way to go

More and more navigators are still using their sextants but using
software
for sight reduction.
I am interested in user experience with the following software:
- AstroNavPC (NavPac)
- Navigator
- StarPilot
- Celestnav PDA
- Pocket Stars
- The Cap'n
- Nobeltec Admiral and Navigation Suite
I would appreciate comments on user friendliness and features (included
or
missing)
Thanks
