LXNAV S80 Pilot Reports?

I just completed a flying day with the S80.
I set multiple tasks while flying. It was very easy, even in a bumpy cockpit.
Changing tasks during flight is simple.
A screen pops up as soon as you have final glide to the finish...I like that.
When you finish a task a screen pops up congratulating you for completion...I like that.
The Flarm display is very clear for other Flarm aircraft.
The confusion arises when a non-Flarm, but transponder equiped aircraft comes close because it can't give you a direction for traffic. Big Red circle of dots with an alarm screaming at you and you don't know where to look. At least I was looking.

Happy S80 owner.

For PCAS targets you need to look at a couple of updates to determine if
the target is a threat. On my last flight my MRX PCAS was screaming
"ALERT" but the distance/delta altitude did not add up to a collision
threat, only that another aircraft was within prescribed limits. Six
tenths of a mile and 600' separation is not much of a threat but not
knowing exactly where to look can be nerve wracking. So watch to see if
the distances are closing and how quickly.

I know it's not as good as a vector, but...
