As Mike says some PNA's don't support portrait. If it could support portrait, I would have all the numbers on top of a simple map [roads, rail rivers only], no ground display: that is outside.
If I were designing an instrument panel from scratch I would have I pneumatic vario's top left or right, one simple electric [Borgelt or Tasman] on the other side. ASI in middle above an XCSoar PNA including FLARM display. Altimeter somewhere below with radio and that's it. The minimum equipment list may require compass or other stuff related to WWI that is not necessary. I would not need to spend thousands on dedicated boxes [sorry Mike, SeeU etc]. When the electrics fail one could still get home on Pneumatics.

Hi all, For users of PDA/PNAs in the cockpit - do you have them oriented in portrait or landscape? Why?
