Presently flying with an Oudie. A lesson in how much a stick controller improves usability.
Only a little time on the LX90x0 stuff, it's very good but personally prefer the simplicity of the CN. The CN is also easier to build TFR airspace files for, which is necessary where I fly.

There is a huge difference - decades really - between a modern cell phone (or iPad) touchscreen and the ones used on most all purpose built tactical computers. Both in the quality of the screen and the development of the standard UI. There still can be issues in bad turbulence, but you really can't compare an Oudie touch screen with something like an iPhone X or Samsung 8. Having said that, it's pretty hard for a small manufacturer like CN to duplicate (at a few hundred a year) what Apple can do at 50 million a quarter. Also built in screens tend to be at arms length, which makes accurate touching more difficult.
