My canopy also has 3D in flight terrain display.

And it is better at real-time display ;-)

The Zeus is a result of the management split in LX.
Now you have
The original LX Navigation
- Crtomir Rojnik and company with outsourced development by Kanardia
- Colibri, up to LX7007 and Zeus
and
The new scion LX-Nav
- Erazem Polutnic and company - internal development
- LX8080, 9000 , V5 and up varios.

Post LX 7007 they have diverged sharing rights to some platforms.
The Zeus is an upgrade of the 7007, so is technically a peer of the
LX8080 and LX9000 (same funcationality in two physical formats.)
Both good products - I feel the technical edge is in LX-NAV platform.
But that is for my personal preferences not an absolute view...

Either way it is probably more than you need, but then I am a luddite
with a LX20 + colibri + mk1 eyeball system. Won't be winning any
competitions with that hardware - so a LX8080 is in the budget approval
cycle with the wife.
Still won't be winning any contests, but the toys will be more capable.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it ain't the equipment that wins contests...

(but you already knew that, didn't you?)... :-)

Too true - as I said I am not going to be winning any contests any time
soon. Irrespective of toy sophistry.

Glad to see there's still a sense of humor (humour?) out there!

I've flown too many to count instrument approaches to minimums in
single-engine jets at night, in raging snow storms, covered with ice, up
hill, both ways, with round steam gauges and no auto pilot to need a glass
cockpit. Having said that I've recently acquired my first "smart phone" and
am struggling to avoid being sucked into the dark side of text messaging...
And I still refuse to enter the world of Twitter.

And it is a 60" (diagonal) high resolution, natural color, Heads-up
Display with full weather depiction!

My next glider, a Phoenix U15, will have 3D fight terrain display, but
I'm pretty sure that's going to be useful (at best) only in "airplane
mode". I'm open to suggestions, as the glass panel burns a lot of amps,
so it'd be nifty if it had some value while soaring.
