Wow. Let's not confuse a Dynon panel with a Garmin panel.

True. Different animals indeed, but if you strip out the procedural element the technolgies are converging very quickly.
Of course the procedural component is no big deal - after all an IAP is no more than a predefined route - you could put your own into most of the systems if you really wanted.
Lets not over complicate glass -take a six pack, add some radios and nav aids, engine insturments and a hand held moving map which is the sort of kit many pilots have anyway and combine the lot into a couple of glass screens and surprise surprise you have glass. If you are happy pressing buttons and working computer sims (which for most youngsters is second nature) you will pick it up the basic elements in a breeze. Drilling down into some of the elements of the system will take time to learn, but in the same way many of use Excel but most of us use about 5% of Excel's functionality.
