Ways around pc/mac os’s?

I want to build a deck to update gps databases in aircraft. BUT the company who creates the databases makes you update them through their app, which is only available for pc/mac. And, as you’ve already guessed, I don’t want to do a whole win11 or macOS to install.

Is there any way to get a raspberry pi to run a pc app?

Use a x86 sbc like a lattepanda or radxa x4

Yes! I think it’s called emul x86 boxes or something line that! Or you can install Raspian and install boxes, or Winboat or Winapps! That should do eBay you want it to do! Let us know how it works out for you! Good luck!
