FOR SALE NEW NK CLEAR NAV
I researched this on the internet at some length, and there is one
independent review that notes the screen as brighter than ordinary PDA's. I've never seen any PDA screen specification that tells the brightness. My conclusion was without searching one out and comparing it myself it wasn't worth the risk, too much $$$. Now I'm waiting for SeeYou to port to WinCE which seems to be the most viable solution to the issue, and at a very low cost. Say $250 for a device with GPS and then whatever SeeYou want's for the software, I expect there will be an upcharge. I'm hoping for January 09.

The screens were quite visible in direct sunlight when the sun was at my back, however difficult to read with indirect sunlight or the sun at my face. |
