I loved my Cambridge LNAV, which has a needle (and, BTW, will sell it, the GPS-NAV Model 20, and all accoutrements, including the panel mount for the old Compaq 1500 running GlideNavigator--which I still have several of!!).

I replaced it with a CNv with a square digital display. It's marvelous for centering thermals and has a superb audio. The UI sucks and the digital needle/edge display is not to my liking. The latter is annoying and not as quick to understand at a glance when both the needle and the scale are moving at the same time. I've love to have the separate analog display but don't feel like paying up just to get what I used to have as standard. I don't miss it much but it simply provides less instantly understandable information than the "old way". Progress.
