Are the ClearNav and Ultimate seen as just slightly different design
solutions for the same problem? *I thought the ClearNav had some Nav/
Display features that gave pilots a competitive advantage ... i.e.
other then a larger display. *If you go to a contest, will you see any
of the national level pilots using one of these. Any preference for
one over the other?

I think the 'glide amoeba' function is the biggest tactical display
difference that ClearNav uses. Instead of concentric circles for where
you can/can't reach from your current position, based on your user set
L/D & altitude margins and skewed for wind, it also takes specifically
into account high/low terrain, making them more amoeba-ish in shape
than circular, which could indeed be highly useful when flying in/
around places with peaks/valleys since it will show you routes through
gaps and notches that the normal circles could lead you to believe you
just can't make it through since those I believe are based on the
highest point of terrain within the circle (?). I can see that being
an advantage, but I have neither system and there are some pretty
respectable pilots running both of systems, so I can't be of much help
in that dept... I believe ClearNav's version of GlideNav also has user
selectable sizes for the navbox infos as well.

Fonts in both WinPilot and SeeYouMobile can be selected by the User.
Not only in the Nav Boxes but almost any font in the program.
