I hear ya!!
Recently I started a thread about avionics (Dynon) etc and only 2 people and a tin of beans replied.
I would have thought there is more interest for stuff like that…….on a site like PPRune.

To answer your question, in my case: no!
Where I fly, the readability in bright sunlight is a major issue.
I saw a beautiful suction cup system for the Ipad in a magazine the other day, but itīs just not worth it if I canīt read the screen for many hours a day.

Instead I robbed a bank and went for the Garmin 695, and that one is BRIGHT indeed! I guess I got a bit of a tan just playing with it the other day.
