I have a lot less experience than most of the postings but while I was
renting a variety of gliders it was my opinion that the lease user
friendly was the SN10. I would not want to try to find a landout site
from its moving map and/or indications until I had a few flights under
my belt. I am sure once you have used it for a period of time it is
great.

Interesting since the SN-10 has an entire page devoted to nothing but
closest/nearest landing points. It allows you to order them wrt nearest or
an easy scroll through names for one that you may know you would rather land
at. I use it frequently during racing or other XC and rarely use the map.
It automatically gives distances to the fields and considers the current
winds and Mc setting and also puts in a 150 meter arrival altitude along
with displaying how far over or under a glide to the field you are. I don't
see how something could be much easier to use than that.
