Default LX Mini Map

Has anyone actually seen one? The screen is said to be good but better
than OUDIE with the terrain shut off?



Just had one of Richard Pfeifer's display units in my hand about 20
minutes ago. Very bright, significantly brighter than the Oudie it was
right next to, but they both had terrain on... screen size is a little
smaller though, but looked on par with the Craggy Ultimate's
brightness in the lighting of the museum we were at. Full sun is
probably a different story, but I was definitely impressed with it.
Not sure of the resolution, but it looks very sharp. Unit is about
3/4" thick and has about a 3/4" border around the screen, but it's
shell constructed entirely of aluminum and feels very solid, and more
heft to it than a PDA. It is definitely not in the same class of
devices as the Oudie and the rest of the PNA gang.
