please see our forum for discussion of all things ClearNavhttp://www.clearnav.net


What a surprise. There are some nice features on the new screens but


the speeds and altitudes are already present in the Club vario. Taking


away features that you guys already sold is not cool. I did not power


up my vario yet but based on the manual on your website when I bought


the vario I expected these features to be there. Now if for some


reasons I decide NOT to upgrade to XC version I am going to be missing


the features I already bought. Another thing that bothers me a little


bit that you specified 3 versions at first and now after some people


bought into it you say no we will only have 2 versions and buy the way


the version that was supposed to cost $1700 in August now costs $2250


since there is no other version, some people may not be very happy


about.


I am also not certain based on your pricing what it will now cost to


upgrade to XC for existing owner of the Display and CNv.


Holy moly...

Nothing is "going away" that I know of. *More likely is a typo or something in need of clarification....

This is the 2013 lineup. *2014 could well be different. *You didn't think we were going to put rate gyros and accelerometers on board just to do whizzy cruise/climb switching, did you? *We aren't going to be finished with this platform Mar 31, we're really just gettin' started.

Evan, so why altitudes and speeds are not showing up in Club version
but only in XC version. I would suggest someone reviews content before
advertising to the world. I am only reacting to the data you guys
provided as a producer. I have to believe what I read.

So, please tell me what the real story is.
