I assume that I'm not the only one who is concerned that devices like
this (Clearnav / UFS) will increase the tendency for pilots to keep
their head inside the cockpit.

You mean like unfolding and reading a paper map?


No, I mean by having a huge color moving map, and more, in front of your
face all of the time.

For me, having a huge color moving map on the panel would let me
interpret it more quickly than the small color moving map on a stalk
that I use now, so I'd spend less time looking at it. Using a PDA takes
me less time than using something like an LNAV or MNAV, and way less
time than using paper maps.
