Hi Richard,

Any opinion on the readability compared to the current crop of PNA'a
in direct sunlight?

Thanks,

I think that it is more readable because it is larger than the current
PNA devices. But compared to the Craggy Aero Ultimate not.

Hi Mike,

I brought my Oudie out into bright sunlight today. I didn't have my iPAQ
310 with me at the time. The Oudie was OK in sunlight. Like all PDAs and
PNAs it is not great in sunlight, but it seemed a lot better than my iPAQ
hx4700. It is nothing like a ClearNav in regard to sunlight readability,
but it costs a lot less than a ClearNav.

My iPAQ 310 is for sale for $195.
