We are very happy to announce that LX Navigation will be releasing their
new LX8000 Color computer. This instrument has a color display that you
will be able to read in bright sunlight!

I love the idea of the bright color display, but what I'm really wondering
is ... is it available in the USA with FLARM capability?


Yes FLARM is a normal option on all current LX7000-7007.....but, who in the
USA even uses FLARM???? doesn't seem to be a rush to get this technology
here
and LX7007 can also be upgrades to LX8000 with color and since the LX7000 is
already IGC approved, adding color display should have no relevence to IGC
approvals for the new version...
