I think I found my solution

My laptop is dying on me. And this just looks like it would be the perfect kneeboard for the cockpit. Hopefully the battery is 12V or less, and I can run it out of the cig lighter jack in the plane. Plus, I can plug it into the GMA340.

Dunno, Ed, this might look better on your knee in the Navion...

I find a tablet PC works well in the cockpit, as long as I stay below 10,000 cabin altitude. Above 10000 most laptop hard disks become unreliable.

There's an old article on my website about using JeppView on a couple of tablet/touchscreen computers.
