It's 45 degrees, not 90. Very strange.

And still no definite answer about whether it's the LCD waver or the front
glass that's the problem. I wear my old standby smoke colored sunglasses in
the glider and the Eagle Eyes in the car. I'd much prefer the reverse.

I sent Gary an email but no reply just yet...

The material in polarised sunglasses is oriented to minimise specular
reflection from water/snow surfaces. As a bonus for soaring pilots this
enhances cloud definition. Rotating sunglasses material reduces the useful
effect appreciably, so negates the benefit of polarising sunglasses.

Early production CAI302s had an LCD with the 'wrong' orientation for
polarising sunglasses, and nobody is likely to have a new batch
manufactured now.

The only practical answer is to use non-polarising sunglasses; brown tint
is good for cloud definition. A reddish tint is even better, but at the
expense of false colour which can cause problems when identifying crop
types for the field selected, and in reading paper charts.

Dan, you can rotate your glasses 90 degrees, if the display
becomes visable, it is the glass not the LCD on the 302.
