Zow! An extremely inexpensive application for the iphone that gives it an attitude indicator function. I have NO IDEA how well it works, but if has any value as a tertiary backup, then it would justify the cost of the whole darn iPhone for me!
SEE THIS LINK

I have successfully kept myself away from retractable gear airplanes, fallen women, and the iPhone, but if this app is any good, it might be the end of me. I would like to hear from anyone who had tried it! I guess the question is, "Is it better than the GPS-derived "panel" on the 396/496?

Oh, and please resist the urge to give the "it isn't for real flying" speech. yes yes.. but I'd like to know how well it does work.

FWIW the guys at Aviation Consumer have successfully flown “light” IFR under the hood for extended periods of time with the simulated six-pack on the 396 and 496:

“the GPSmap 396 has a GPS-driven flight instrument page that we have proven is quite capable of serving as a gyro back-up in the event of a vacuum failure”

Since we are on the subject, I have recently installed a FREE software called APIC. It is great and free. It is not a demo, it works great. It has a wonderful moving map that shows terrain, roads, lakes, airports and more. When you click on the airport, it will bring up all the information for the runways, CTAF, tower information, etc. You can download it into a laptop or a PDA. I have a HP 5915 with a built in GPS and it runs awesome! It also has an altitude indicator screen that shows your ground speed, altitude, bearing, etc. It looks a lot like a Dynon screen. Do a search for APIC Software and check it out. For free, it is a great product. It has a demo mode to try things out, even if you do not have a GPS module yet? Thought other people might like to try it. 5 people from my local airport now have it working in their plane as a backup.
