Thanks for the replies.
I'm struggling to find anyone who can give me clear and unbiased data (layman's) on the pros and cons of the various devices available.
The Flymap LD appeals because:
It's european, not american, so with the exception of Garmin perhaps, I'm more confident that the design is more aligned with the european LAA flight envelope and I'm likely to get more immediate support in the event of a problem.
Build quality seems good.
It has dual screens and therefore built in redundancy (AIUI)
It's light. (2.7kg)
It's bright.
Dimensions are in keeping with the remit.
It has a touch screen. (This may actually be a disadvantage in years to come once the screen is old I suppose)
I quite like the USB port instead of a data card port, I don't really know why.
It can incorporate just about all of the functions I desire in the one unit, including AOA and turn and slip, not to mention the moving map (with european data)
I'm not really bothered by synthetic vision, I have windows in my aeroplane....
probably lots of other things I should consider....
