Default Color Platforms for Top Hat/XCSoar

You have to reach in pretty deeply but that shouldn't be much of a
problem for my application.Â* I plan to run Avare on it and feed that
from an XGPS-170 WAAS GPS and dual band ADS-B In receiver.Â* This will be
in my Stemme and I can set it up before takeoff and never touch it again
throughout the flight.Â* If I needed to manipulate it a lot, the bottom
section of the screen is removable which would allow my whole hand to
get in there.Â* Unfortunately, my Stemme is down following a prop strike
and it may be a while before it gets back in the air.Â* Waiting on parts...

How does the sunshade impact your ability to use it as a touchscreen device? I worry that it would be more awkward, especially when trying to brace your hand against the bezel to steady your finger as it selects a screen element.

But I haven't tried it.
