I was leaning towards the ClearNav/LX approach of buttons rather than the trackball, although I believe both are quite workable. I currently use an Oudie and have had problems in rough air with the touchscreen.



The LX 9000 does look most interesting, but would be a lot more attractive if the Euro was at 0.8 to the US dollar instead of 1.35! The idea of putting the computer on a RAM mount within easy reach wasn't an idea I had originally considered, but might actually be viable.



I wonder how many here have taken that approach?

This is not a paid advertisement . I just came from the convention and I horsed around with the Craggy Ultimate and a trackball. Thought Id not like it but I actually found it VERY easy to use and I did spend some time on it. I am a SYM man myself but I understand you have a choice of software with the ultimate (Unlike some of the others).
