For the most part, you can mix and match, it is a matter of setting up the FE to "embed" the NAV software into the FE, but that is generally pretty easy, and I know RR has a faq about it, I think the others probably do as well.

I think there may have been issues with FP embeding certain programs, including some NAV programs, but that is a faint memory, and I could be wrong about that.

Some FE were designed with certain programs in mind, and you might be "better off" using that NAV program, but like I said, it is basically mix and match.

FYI, stay away from the early Delorme GPS receivers if you plan on using non Delorme NAV programs, the early ones didn't spit out NMEA but another protocol, I think ROCKWELL. That just introduces another kink, which can be overcome, but why bother when you can get a true NMEA receiver.
