The features are different and they even look differently, if you take a closer look at them. And yes, the picture on the web-site mentioned above shows the Miami. Just about this Saitek-Mephisto-Novag thing... I think there was at least one Fidelity handheld computer, which included the same program as the Saitek Travel Champion, which now seems to be included in the Mephisto Miami - at least there were some rumors, that the Fidelity "Travel Master H8" had the same program. At that time Mephisto (Hegener & Glaser) was not owned by Saitek by the way, but Fidelity had already been bought by Hegener & Glaser. :-))) Greetings, Heiko.
