Default Best PDA/PNA for FLARM display?

I haven't studied any PDA/FLARM interface except LK8000. I assume other
software have similar capabilities and limitations. I have come to the
conclusion that the Butterfly display provides an instant view that isn't
available on the PDA and the PDA provides additional information not
available on Butterfly.

The following link provides information that may assist in your research.

My current plan is to connect the PowerFLARM brick data to my PDA via serial
cable and my smart vario data via BlueTooth.

I flew with a portable PowerFLARM at the Uvalde pre-worlds, and I have
a 'brick' unit on order for delivery sometime this fall/winter. As I
wait for delivery, I am contemplating how to integrate it into my
current instrumentation setup.

One possibility I am considering is to not use the brick's Butterfly
display at all, assuming I can get adequate display/warnings from
FLARM data displayed on one of the many PDA/PNA moving map displays
available these days.

Does anyone have experience with FLARM display on WinPilot PRO v9,
SeeYou Mobile on an Oudie or other display, ClearNav, or other? Is
the integrated display good enough to replace the Butterfly display?

TIA,

TA
