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.


The real story is I am going to write "CANCEL" on that great big check I got from CNi last week for doing this big bucks job that I do, and then I am going to devote my remaining years to the preservation of what little umbrage remains in the universe.

One more time in case anyone missed it: no functionality will be removed from the CNv club.

Speeds (IAS, TAS, GPS) and Altitudes (QNH, altimeter setting, Pressure Alt.) are all part of CNv Club. *That's official, from the internal CNi specification. *I'm sorry for the confusion, we'll get the website put right shortly.

Contritely yours,

Thank you! Oh, yes I overreacted as I take information presented as
absolute truth.

Well I guess you guys need to update the page. There is also another
typo there the upgrade from Club to XC should be $700 not the $750.

Now since we can put this thing behind I got to say the design of the
screens is very nice. I would like to be testing it at the end of
January.
