At the same event we walked out side with the MiniMap and in slightly
overcast but pretty bright sunlight I thought the display was very
readable with both background terrain on and off. Clearly much better
outside than the Oudie (as expected). This is the display I now want
given that it is the largest I could see cramming into a tight panel
and runs SeeYou. And I liked the ability to drive the miniMap/Vario
combination with a PowerFLARM and have the air-data added to the NMEA
stream by the vario.


Are you saying that you can hook up the pitot and static lines to the
back of the vario? If so, this product is very promising.


Folks designing this stuff are thinking (although
with the small niggle I'd still like to see less separate interface
boards/cables). If anybody has one and does not want it I'll give it a
good home. Richard had a meter there, it was not drawing as much as
0.4A but I don't recall the exact number. Maybe he can reply with the
number (with different display brightesses).
