Default LXNAV S80 Pilot Report

Does anyone have any experience with the LX Navigation EOS compared to the S8/80?

EOS seems similar but has IGC approval etc too.

Any thoughts?


The EOS looks like a decent vario but I wouldn't purchase it if I was going to integrate it with XCSoar.

LX Navigation apparently ignore any requests for documentation relating to their serial protocols and even customers receive the silent treatment. The main XCSoar developers have given up trying to support the devices through reverse engineering.
Yes, it's their right to withhold proprietary information but I'd rather support a manufacturer who is more helpful with integrating and interfacing their products with other devices.

LXNav have thus far been VERY helpful with my questions regarding their hardware so that is where I will take my money next year (for an upgrade to the S80).
