Curious how CN users feel about the need for using both the 57mm round mechanical pointer and the LCD NavDisplay.

If you were starting a panel from scratch, would you use both the LCD NavDisplay and the 57 mm round LCD NavDisplay?

Thanks.

Sorry -- s/b If you were starting a panel from scratch, would you use both the LCD NavDisplay and the 57 mm round mechanical pointer?


Since the square E-Reader vario display came out, there is no need for the round one.

I disagree with Jim, and agree with Chip. I end up listening to the audio, glancing at the TA screen which is great, and also at the needle on my S3 vario. The tape display on the digital display doesn't do it for me. I also wish for a mute switch, or knob to rapidly change the audio level on the CNv digital display, rather than through the menu.


I prefer to have the square display and use my Winter to get my needle movement info. In one ship I have both the round and square because I bought the square later and had panel room. My scan still prefers rotating needle and I get info better from 3-1/8 vario than the smaller.
FWIW
