Hi
The LX web site says that I can use the MIni-map kb with my LX 5000.
It is somewhat pricey at $ 1600 with Seeyou mobile at twice the price
of a OUDIE who is not really readable in the sun.
Anyone has use it and care to comment.

I played with a demo unit outside in the sun recently and was
impressed. Daylight readable with touchscreen. Whole different league
of daylight visibility than the Oudie. High resolution but smallish
and the touchscreen means it probably needs to be on a mount close to
you. I think the factory metal mount looks a bit agricultural but no
doubt works. The screen is glossy but did not seem to be a problem.

I have a strong bias that the modular/open approach with ability to
mix and match display, soaring software and back-end GPS/air data etc.
Is the right way to go.
