Hi,
















I have added details and pricing on the new ClearNav CNv Variometer LCD








display to my web site. I have the displays in stock now. They can be used








in addition to, or instead of the original CNv vario display with mechanical








pointer.
















Customers who already fly with a CNv variometer get a discount of $125 if








they purchase the new display during June of 2014.
















Details on the new Display

Details on a complete variometer system with the new display:

I have the new displays in stock and have been playing with one tonight.








I'm very impressed with the extremely sharp, high-resolution and relatively








large display. It is very easy to read.
















Best Regards,

Will this display support turn area tasks in the future?




Not fully, i.e. don't be looking for stats, optimization guidance and all the rest. But simple display of (circular) turn areas on the map screen, likely yes.

What is the target application and/or market for this device? It looks more expensive and much less capable than an Oudie 2 Lite with LK 8000. Is it suggested that it is a good alternative for an Oudie, or a worthwhile addition? Would anyone want to use this as well as a full Clearnav display?
