Do you use a yoke mount GPS?

You can use whatever you want 135, as long as the DO or "certificate holder" authorizes it. You can even carry a gun.

I used a handheld hiking gps for 135 vfr for about 2 days. Then I learned to fly towad the big mountain on the horizon, and that my ground speed was the same wether I had an electronic speedometer or not. Though, sometimes when avoiding thunderstorms I wish it wasn't in my flight bag in the cargo compartment.
 
So what I'm gathering from this is that it is essentially illegal to use a PDA with Anywheremap and AnywhereWX installed on it, attached to a GPS antenna?

The pilot's that try to say tools like the above are for their primary navigation need to be shot. It's a SA aid, bottom line.
 
I fly single pilot 135 and was recently ramped by the Feds... Guy was EXTREMELY thorough. I had my 396 on the yoke. He thought the 396 was great, had read about it, and wanted to see how it worked. Showed him all the functions, XM radio and WX, he was impressed with the A/C specific weight and balance data that is storable.

He never once mentioned anything about unauthorized electronic devices.

Just my experience, we all know these Inspectors vary from place to place

OF COURSE! I love my Lowrance 600c. Does everything that one could need.
I fly single pilot 135 night freight (which I love) and controllers, while I'm filed /U(seless) give me direct without asking and then the onboard mountable GPS comes in great handiness. Lets all be realistic. I've seen KingAires, Lears, Citations with nothing more than a handheld and they go direct everywhere. If you can-do, if you have problems then use your VORS, which you should be using to back yourself up at all times anyways.
