I have been very happily using Pathaway on my Palm TX PDA as a plotter for years now, but would like to change to something a bit more modern - it wont last for ever. Could anyone tell me the current 'state of the art' for a software replacement? Re hardware: I have my eye on a Nexus 7, but...

Could anyone tell me which lubricant is best for the screw thread on the lifting keel of my Etap 22? I did use graphite paste the last time, but this has turned into a solid gum on the lifting rudder, and I suspect the same has happened on the keel thread. Is some sort of waterproof grease...
