- 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. Condor will feed data to your PDA, however I have
yet to have PDA to accept the NMEA data from Condor, I believe this because I
have yet to set it up correctly. This is one way to practice on the ground. SDF -----Original Message----- 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.
