Its also a good idea to install the PC version on your PC - it runs OK under Windows and also works well with Wine on a Linux or Mac box. You can learn a lot by running the PC version in simulator mode and figure out what suits you in the way of infoboxes, colours and how you want to have airspace configured - I run it in full auto mode with it set to appear within 600 ft vertically and 45 secs horizontally, but ymmv.
The most important thing is to put common infoboxes in the same place for climb/cruise/aux - nothing is more annoying that having the boxes swap places as the flight mode changes. If you already have a decent vario that you like & trust, consider using one of the infobox layouts that doesn't include the vario. I have two varios I like in my panel and so don't use the PNA for anything except for navigation and final glide calculations and have the XCSoar vario turned off and no vario-related stuff apart from glide path in the infoboxes.
