I took a short flight today to test AviationMaps and Naviator on my Kindle Fire. The tablet does not have a GPS unit, so geolocation is being provided through TetherGPS (an app a friend and I wrote) over WiFi running on my HTC Evo.

Naviator - http://youtu.be/vRPloMRsepU
Both seem to be very capable mapping and navigation applications, although this is not intended to be a full review of their capabilities.
I put together a writeup on the xda-developers forum with instructions on how to prepare the Kindle Fire to use TetherGPS. For those willing to do a minor amount of tinkering, a $200 tablet can take the place of far more expensive options, in a friendlier form-factor that I personally prefer over the larger 10" tablets.

And before anyone says anything... the wife was on board helping to watch for traffic
