Essentially the same as the new Oudie with the same screen (you
can get your old Oudie upgraded). 950 nits brightness and non glare
coating so the thing is sunlight readable.

Sound great. Tell us how it looks.
About like Oudie. Like Oudie it is a Chinese 5"car GPS.
At present they are trying to get the internal GPS changed so that it
better suits sailplane dynamics. This only matters if you aren't
using the external data input. Not all GPS units are the same! Which
is why I like the GPS we use for the b800. Falrm use a similar unit
from the same manufacturer which can be configured for aviation use.
Most GPS units are fine for cars and pedestrians, boats etc.
