John
A button on the front of the Ipaq can be assigned to 1 Map, this will turn the terrain on and off and give you the terrain or the white screen. Menu - edit - touch button on the bottom of the screen - select 1 Map from the Button function drop down menu. Richard www.craggyaero.com "JohnD" wrote in message om...

This feature sounded great when I bought Winpilot Pro but really isn't necessary if I keep my eyes out of the cockpit. Viewing the display is significantly improved in B/W vs. Color.

Hi John,
I use an iPaq 3950 and run WinPilot AV on it. The way I use to improve readebility of the iPaq is to set a higher contrast and avoid that all of the landscape gets a color assigned. With WinPilot running go to 'menu' then 'setting2' and mark elevations to on. Then press 'edit'. Set Floor level to e.g +1, Color shift to e.g -1 and Contrast to x2. I use these settings with good results. Did not install yet the anti glare film, but better do that I guess. Karel, NL "JohnD" schreef in bericht om...

Make sure you get the Clear Touch or Brando (In Europe) Brand Screen Protectors. The tipical ones you buy in Office Depot etc. do not work. www.craggyaero.com in the US http://www.crabb.biz/vl.htm in Europe Richard www.craggyaero.com "K.P. Termaat" wrote in message .. .

Thanks Richard. I have some "Clear Touch" protectors of BoxWave available
(shipped over from the US at about 9$9,- each). I am not sure this is the right stuff though. B.t.w. I use the KEIM iPaq mount in our new Ventus. Quite expensive but high quality. Works great.
