Default ClearVav vs. LXNav

I agree with Evan, from my experience the final glide algorithm in CN1 works exactly the same in CN2. It has gotten me to my destination within 50-75 feet of its prediction without fail.

I want to thank everyone for their lively discussion and request that anyone who can make additional points or criticisms continue to do so. It would seem that the choice is between simplicity with pertinent information for someone who wants to fly and compete without a lot of extraneous distractions, and complexity with the ability for massive customization for someone who wants it all and may have a little “geekiness” in their inclinations- not that this is bad- we all have our preferred ways to fly. We all know of pilots who like to work on their aircraft more than they actually want to fly it, and this is often unconscious in their approach to flying.
