Hi Bill,

I just searched the TDS page below looking for any indication that the
screen is sunlight readable and I couldn't find anything. Perhaps I missed

I run free software on a $100 used PDA. My only gripe is that the screen

Has anyone tried one of those ruggedized PDAs in the cockpit, like
the TDS Recon. In theory it fixes the too dim problem.

I spent the last week surveying with Trimble equipment. The screens
were quite visible in direct sunlight when the sun was at my back,
however difficult to read with indirect sunlight or the sun at my face.
