Also checkout Altair pricing at present. Tied to the Swiss Frank, not the greenback.
REALLY good value right now! Cheaper than Ultimate!

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] New colour flight computer If you are in the market for a colour flight computer this looks pretty good. http://www.craggyaero.com/ultimate.htm Run it with a B500 or any of the data output varios or just a GPS. Neat input device and what looks like the best sunlight readable screen around with full VGA resolution (640 x 480) twice the resolution in each direction of most others. I asked Richard about using the B500 without GCD but here's what he said: I would let the B500 control the software, as it already does, on the Ultimate as far as bugs, ballast, MC etc., the ability to use the GCD for what ifs and see glide around two points is a plus and also as a check on final glide. Set it on the B500 and it is automatically set in the WinPilot or SeeYouMobile software. Pretty good price at USD2500. About A$3700 landed here taxes paid. If you don't want to rebuild the panel and want a cheaper alternative the B2500 is only a little more than half the price.
