Color Platforms for Top Hat/XCSoar

Thanks, I'll try that!

I just tried the sunshade outside in the NM sunshine and it works well.Â*
I think I'll start it up again, check the brightness, and go back
outside.Â* I'll report back.

I use the Nexus 7 all the time and never have a sunlight issue - Are you positive you went into setting and have it manually set to full brightness?

The default allows the tablet to adjust.... it needs to be set on full. Best $130 bucks I have spent.

I have 2 Nexus 7's and both work great!

How does the sunshade impact your ability to use it as a touchscreen device? I worry that it would be more awkward, especially when trying to brace your hand against the bezel to steady your finger as it selects a screen element.

But I haven't tried it.

You have to reach in pretty deeply but that shouldn't be much of a
problem for my application.Â* I plan to run Avare on it and feed that
from an XGPS-170 WAAS GPS and dual band ADS-B In receiver.Â* This will be
in my Stemme and I can set it up before takeoff and never touch it again
throughout the flight.Â* If I needed to manipulate it a lot, the bottom
section of the screen is removable which would allow my whole hand to
get in there.Â* Unfortunately, my Stemme is down following a prop strike
and it may be a while before it gets back in the air.Â* Waiting on parts...

That worked really well!Â* Not as bright as my ClearNav, but certainly
readable.Â* With my sunshade installed it should really work well.

I was really tired the glacially slow performance of the Nexus 7 2012
with Android 5.1.1 so I found a way to root it and then flashed a pared
down custom ROM.Â* It now boots in 40 seconds, has no bloatware, and is
really fast.Â* The ROM is SLIMKat.Â* Look it up if you're a tinkerer.
