I think when the new version of Viigo comes out, it'll have it. But nothing I know of right now.

The "flight" plugin to Beyond411 gives access to a flight tracker, listing knots, altitude, ETA, etc. You might try that out. I have used it before and really liked it.

I bookmarked the link above.
There was some other good wap sites in this area that I lost if someone is able to post.
I am not interested in flighttracker.com or flightstatus.com which gives you orbitz and cheap tickets

23 to GO Home is a news channel, but they have a link to track flights. I have used this many times before, it is updated in real time, and works well.

And it is a WAP site.

Please elaborate, I am using the latest version of PD, and cannot find what you have mentioned.

Maybe I have set my options differently.

Thank-you.

ok guys its not that hard - make sure you activate "search" under PD settings.

Now on the today screen, look for search and expand it, click the "search type" and you'll find FLIGHT STATUS.

Amen

OK, got it. I was using the BB button, and attempting to access search from there; (can't be done).

Thanks again.
