My primary navigation calculator is an HP-48GX. I have written my own
almanac software for it in its unique RPL langauge.
Well, all of the good RPN programmable HP calculators have been
discontinued recently: the HP-48G+, the HP-49G, and the HP-48GX are now
history -- gone from HP's website.

You can still buy an HP-48GX at Amazon (until they run out) for about
$150. ... so if you want a spare for the future, buy now! I did.
HP claims on the website that they will be introducing new calculators
sometime later this year, but I doubt that they will be as nice. Who
knows...
