Hi Surge,

I must respectfully disagree.

The LX Navigation EOS stand alone version is different from the version used
with the Zeus. The stand-alone version does not work with the Zeus. I had
to order a different version of the EOS for use with my Zeus demo.

The good news is that used V7 (name recently changed to S7), S8 and S80 and
EOS stand-alone units all have excellent re-sale value on the used market.
That makes it pretty painless to go to an LX80x0, LX90x0 or Zeus.

Best Regards,

LX Nav make some nice instruments but I strongly dislike the fact that their
standalone varios like the S8 or S80 cannot be connected to LX80xx or LX90xx
navigation displays.
This essentially forces one to toss out your expensive S3/S8/S80 standalone
vario if you want to add a nav display later on. Not cool!

LX Navigation take the compatibility route with their EOS vario.
You can purchase the EOS vario which can operate in standalone mode and then
add a LX Zeus navigation display later on when you have the cash.
Not all of us have $4000 to $5000 to upgrade the entire instrument panel in
one go, so this approach makes more sense to penny pinchers like myself.
