Now if only SeeYou, flyWithCE, Glide Navigator II, or someone (Dave)
would make an app for this.


At 9.71 inches, this device seems a bit large for a glider cockpit.
I'm not even sure if it would work as a full MFD, replacing all the
instruments, assuming it could be certified in that role.
OTOH, the screen display technology, if applied to a somewhat smaller
display in the 4 x 6 inch format range, looks great
for bright sun viewing.
