LXNAV Nano4 - Quick Review
Hi,
I received the first batch of Nano4 units yesterday. They have all been sold, but more should arrive in a week or 2. I'm extremely impressed with the Nano4. It is easy-to-use and the display of airports and airspace and FLARM data only makes the screen clear and uncluttered. It is a very high resolution display for its size - so it looks very sharp. It has a very bright display. I just walked outside in sunlight with an Oudie IGC (same screen as Oudie 2) and Nano4 and the Nano4 is a bit brighter than the already very bright Oudie IGC. The Nano4's screen is about 2/3 as tall and 3/4 as wide as the Oudie screen. The Nano4 doesn't display terrain elevation maps, cities, rivers, lakes, etc. and doesn't have a terrain elevation database, so it can't display altitude AGL like the Oudie can - that keeps the Nano4's display uncluttered. To change a Navbox, you simply tap and hold on the navbox for a second and then lift off it. Large icons for each navbox option are easy to select with a fingertip. To change the MacCready setting, you just tap on it. It is displayed on the right side of the screen in the middle. Then large plus and minus buttons are used to change the setting for MC, Bugs, and Ballast - or you can drag the slider to change the settings. The glide ratio and best glide speed are shown on the bottom of the screen and update as you change the settings. You can see details on the Nano4 he https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/lxnav.htm#LXNAV-Nano4 I'll be making a Nano4 overview video which should be available in less than 1 week he https://www.cumulus-soaring.com/training.htm Best Regards, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. |

LXNAV Nano4 - Quick Review
Hi,
I'm still playing with Nano4 units. I just noticed that the unit can display altitude AGL. Cool! It must have a built-in terrain elevation database.
