I am currently using CelestNav . It is available from it's home site of
http://www.mobilegeographics.com/celestnav and from palmgear.com ,
handango.com or smaller.com.
The about screen says it Includes perpetual nautical almanac, site reduction
using HO 229 and 249 functionality, automatic timing of sextant observations
w/ utc adjustment, calc of fix from celestial observation and more. Free
trial , $39 to register.
I am a navigation newbee, but a few check have shown the almanac to match up
nicely with other sources.

Does anyone use a Palm-Pilot for navigational purposes or
practice..?? If so what program(s) are you using..?? I found one,
(MG229), but being a real novice, I have no opinion on its reliability
.
