On balance, are Moving Map PNAs better than Cambridge 302/303style LCD navigation?

Now that folks have experience with both approaches, are Moving Map PNAs in fact a big step forward? Do the advantages of Moving Map PNAs outweigh the disadvantages? Yes. Setup correctly (and they DO take some setting up), a good PNA map will tell you at a glance where you are, which way you need to go, and what landing places are in range all around you. You simply cannot get all that data from a text display. My setup has an SN10 for the important tactical data, focused on the task or destination ahead. My PNA (Oudie/SYM) gives me a much bigger overview of the task, ground track, landable fields, and some additional data that I can look at when time permits. Kirk 66
