Would any Oudie users care to comment on their flying experiences with
the Oudie? Particularly cockpit readability, unit dependability and
ease of use, or any other pro's or con's you might care to comment on.
Thanks!

Been doing some flying in the bright African sun and with my
sunglasses I am able to read the Oudie very well.
However, what I did do to help, was to make the fonts on the map (for
waypoints, etc) almost double the size. I also increased the default
line thickness, by one, of the roads and railway lines. Furthermore I
have set the navboxes to almost zero opacity.

Screen brightness was not so much a problem as the reflections from
within the cockpit itself. This did cause a few hard reading issues.

My problem, however, was trying to push those five little buttons at
the bottom of the screen. Much verbal abuse was hurled at the Oudie's
direction in this regard. The buttons either doing nothing when
pressed, or blast through a zillion screens in a flash. Buttons need
to be made bigger. There also seems to be a bit of dead zone on the
Oudie for the last few pixels at the bottom of the screen where no
amount of pushing helps.
