There are a few things that can be done to make the most of the PDA displays:
- try to orient the display so it is nearly vertical, in order to minimise reflections from the sky/sun. - use an anti-glare screen protector. In my experience, glare is a bigger problem than brightness - opt for high contrast, black on white schemes. Viewing terrain in-flight is very difficult. - avoid using polarised sunglasses - become familiar with whatever program you are using while on the ground, so in flight your eyes don't have to hunt the display to find the information you need.
