Does anyone have experience with using Stratus ADSB receiver combined with Foreflight for traffic / weather information as alternative to FLARM? http://www.foreflight.com/stratus

"iPad is not great in direct sunlight and you can't integrate the data with any known glider flight instruments"

iPad can be used with iGlide, Winpilot iOS, or a few others, and integrated with a Butterfly vario and probably many others, if a WiFi bridge is used. True that it isn't particularly readable in direct sunlight though. The iPhone is better, at least as good as the traditional PDAs, but not as bright as the Oudie2/Avier/Vertica. However the screen has over 5 times the resolution, which makes up for some of the brightness.
