Default On balance, are Moving Map PNAs better than Cambridge 302/303style LCD navigation?

My setup has an SN10 for the important tactical data, focused on the task or destination ahead. My PNA (Oudie/SYM) gives me a much bigger overview of the task, ground track, landable fields, and some additional data that I can look at when time permits.


So you're saying that you prefer to see tactical priority #1 information on SN10 and overview priority #2 info on PNA. Do you think that this is because you first develop the habits/skills of using the SN10 and you later added the PNA as a welcome enhancement, or is there some inherent advantage to splitting the information between the two devices?

Assuming you had your choice of "speed-to-fly" varios, would you then be happy putting all of the other information on the PNA? Or do you see a problem with putting too much information on the PNA and mixing tactical with overview information on the same device?
