Strange question, but, I have a mate who regularly flies in a light aircraft with a friend.

Is it possible to display altitude (some other GPS systems show this) on our beloved Tom Tom ?

I expect it would have to be done with some 3rd party add on software of some kind

I've seen the GO playing media files so I spose anythings possible ! Rolling Eyes

Any ideas ??

Scaredycat had a program for that I think.

HOWEVER GPS altitude is not reliable enough for aviation unless you use WAAS/EGNOS (which the GO doesn't support).

Use a Pocket PC or Handheld with dedicated aviation software instead.

He flies a plane with no Altimeter? I think I'll stick with the train Smile

LMFAO !! Laughing

No, he flies in a plane. He doesn't pilot it !

They use motorways for navigation and he just wondered if it was at all possible.

Better off getting aviation software something like Colin Porteus software for Pocket PC.
