Best performing Vario?

Why don't PNA developers emulate the Themi interface? Brighter screens should make that possible nowadays. Being able to get centering help via peripheral vision seems huge... especially if you're not the only one flying in a thermal.

SeeYouMobile has a similar function using a "beep" that you can set to tell you when you are approaching the heading to the strongest part of the thermal. Not sure if SYM includes the drift calculation that a Themi does, but in theory it should be a useful aid to shifting your circle - set it to beep when you should roll out momentarily.

But since I use a Themi, I rarely use my SYM thermal page - I find it takes too much heads down time for the value added. I prefer a climb map page zoomed in to show the climb track with dots, and some dedicated vario navboxes.

YMMV.
